Our grandfather Martinho, a farmer from Mogofores, produced red wine and, being one of the rare winemakers who separated the white grapes from the red ones, made a beautiful and famous white wine. Both were sold in bulk to trading houses in the region that bottled them.
Having passed away in the late sixties of the last century, our father, Manuel, then took charge of the entire estate, modernizing and expanding the vineyards, although he ceased producing wine for the market.

In the mid-nineties we began winemaking tests with the various grape varieties planted in the meantime (many of which were planted for the first time in the region). The decision was then made to start producing wine for the market and to build a new winery. The first wines under the Campolargo brand were from the 2000 vintage, and the new winery was only built in 2004.
Currently, the third generation is responsible for the vineyard, Jorge Campolargo, and for the winery and sales, Carlos Campolargo. But they already have the collaboration of the fourth generation, Joana Campolargo, who provides administrative support and external relations.
We therefore want to maintain and pursue the exclusively family-based character of our winemaking.
