LOT
In 1946, Mário Barbeito, founded our small company with the aim of producing quality Madeira wines, some in limited quantities. In recent years we have been bottling Single Casks of Malvasia from the 2000 and 2001 harvests. The acidity of the wines has always had a huge influence on Ricardo Diogo choices and this Malvasia was no exception. In June 2013, 1209 units were bottled, all individually numbered.
