Grão Vasco was a famous Renaissance painter in Viseu, capital of the Dão region. Grão Vasco the wine was born in 1958 when Sogrape was founded, and has since been the very essence of Dão wine, further perfected in the ’90s with modern winemaking techniques at Quinta dos Carvalhais. Grão Vasco’s golden capsule was inspired by the painting São Pedro or Saint Peter, the most famous work of Grão Vasco. Quinta dos Carvalhais is now a benchmark for best practices in the Portuguese wine industry as it defends the interests and living conditions of many small winegrowers who deliver their grapes there.
