The Alto Douro Wine Region is a particularly representative area of ​​the landscape that characterizes the vast Douro Demarcated Region, the oldest regulated wine-growing region in the world and where the famous Port wine is produced. The cultural landscape of Alto Douro combines the monumental nature of the Douro river valley, made of steep slopes and poor, rugged soils, with the ancestral and continuous action of Man, adapting the space to the Mediterranean-type agricultural needs that the region supports. This intimate relationship between human activity and nature allowed the creation of an ecosystem of unique value, where the characteristics of the land are used in an exemplary way, with the modeling of the landscape in terraces, preserving it from erosion and allowing the cultivation of vineyards.This magnificent property is just 5 km from the Douro River.______________________________________________________________________
