Casa de Cello is certified in sustainable agriculture to produce healthy and high quality grapes and guarantee the genuine expression of our "terroirs".
Casa de Vilacetinho
Located in the parish of Alpendurada, in the municipality of Marco de Canavezes, the emblematic Casa de Vilacetinho, it’s one of the oldest brands of the region, adding important milestones to the history of Portuguese wines.
Casa de Vilacetinho, of 1790, was one of the first producers of the Vinhos Verdes region. Today it continues to honour its legacy of producing high quality wines.
Going back in time, Vilacetinho could be considered a giant when compared to the sizes of other properties in the Douro region, due to unification of 2 large estates, which were originally part of the Benedictine Monastery of Alpendurada.
The Vilacetinho estate due to its size and exceptional agricultural characteristics, is therefore a unique property in the context of the region. Unique wines are produced in this estate, true embodiment of the distinct terroir that gives them life. Wines with character and distinguished, with certain features of Champagne wines.
