Estate

Família Salton - One of the best known brands in Brazil, Família Salton is the oldest winery in Brazil. Boasting a tradition of over a century the winery is recognized as one of the country’s leading producers.

Surrounded by breathtaking gardens and greenery, Família Salton Winery has its root grounded deep in the charming region of Serra Gaúcha. Antonio Domenico Salton began the tradition of vine cultivation in 1878 when he left Italy and moved to Brazil for better opportunities. After vinifying informally for many years, Antonio got help from his sons. In 1910, the Salton Family acquired its formal certification for wine production. Currently, the fourth generation of the Salton Family handles the estate’s operations with great respect for their forefathers.

Creating high-quality wines is the top priority of the winery as the Salton Family takes excellent care of the vineyards. A broad range of vines is grown without chemicals and picked by hand during the harvest. The company produces flagship sparkling wines, together with luscious red, white, rosé, and dessert wines.

Tasting notes

Bright, with a delicate pinkish color and abundant fine bubbles. The nose shows a delicate fruity aroma, with notes of citrus and small fresh red fruits. The palate is fresh, creamy and delicate. A great pairing with shrimp, smoked salmon, cured meats and soft cheeses.

Vinification

Made from a blend of 60% Pinot Noir & 40 % Trebbiano, the juice from the hand-picked grapes is extracted with low-pressure pneumatic presses. After the clarification, the must is fermented at low temperature with selected yeasts. The wine is fermented in airtight tanks utilizing the Charmat Method.
