An amphora wine adventure in Bairrada
Romeu Martins, artisanal winemaker from Bairrada - Portugal
Welcome to Winery Malápio, where we revive the medieval tradition of winemaking in clay amphora with fermentation to produce natural, minimally invasive, and authentic wines from the Bairrada region. Here, we provide luxury wine tourism services with unique features, a centuries-old cellar, and a medieval vineyard.
