Quinta do Monte Travesso has belonged to the Naples de Carvalho family for five generations, since the founder of Casa do Douro, the great-great-grandfather of the present owners, gave this beautiful quinta to his daughter as a wedding gift. From the very beginning, the plantation of some of the current vineyards and the wine making process began in the same warehouses where Monte Travesso wines are still vinified today. Lately, unique grape varieties have been planted per plot and new technologies have been introduced, namely the possibility of controlling the fermentation temperature in the centenary lagares.
