HISTORY

The company Vinhos Toscano, Lda, which owns the Cismeira brand, is a family business with a history of viticulture that goes back more than a century, with the vineyard being the main source of income for the family's livelihood and education, a situation that spanned several generations, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren taking on these responsibilities.
It was these fearless people who prevailed over the cliffs that were piled up with uncultivated land, with the aim of giving them a new texture by planting the noble grape varieties that prevail in the Douro so that they could produce high-quality grapes for DOC Douro wines.



The patriarch of Cismeira, knowing the family background, created this company to which he transferred all the wine-growing assets in order to have professional management.
What was considered a hobby more than 20 years ago, given other professional responsibilities, quickly became an obligation, growing hand in hand with the impulses of those who cooperated with Cismeira.
