Located in the historic Dão region, in the village of Prime, parish of Fragosela, near the city of Viseu, it is an extensive property of approximately 70 hectares that extends from the banks of the Dão River.
The vineyard, partially re-grafted and expanded through new plantings, currently occupies an area of 25 hectares dedicated to the Touriga Nacional and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, and the planting of an additional eight hectares of vines is planned. Situated at an altitude of approximately 380 meters, with unique microclimatic conditions, the property benefits from its proximity to the Dão River, excellent sun exposure, and high-quality granitic sandy soils, also known as "rotten granite" or "noble granite" soils.
With narrow planting spacing, traditional sustainable viticulture is practiced, minimizing the use of herbicides, inspired by the ancestral French technique from Bordeaux and Burgundy called "Les Quatre Façons". A human intervention that respects and values the natural richness of the terroir, enhancing the expression of its character in the production of exceptional red and white wines.
The estate's brand – Dom Bella – is inspired by an enigmatic and curious gentleman who, in recent times, was surprised and fascinated by the potential of this magnificent terroir and, with the passion and determination that characterize him, decided to embrace the challenge of producing some of the best wines in the region. A brand developed around an unusual imagery, with a touch of irreverence, that provokes and challenges us to discover complex and surprising flavors.
