Fine day of rain and very cold, the night came at 3 ° C, with snow forecast. We come from the Bento Gonçalves Veranópolis as soon see the Salton Winery, located in the district of Tuiuty, before the Valley of the Vineyards. Stopped to see the grandeur of this wine, with visits tracked. Modern facilities, tanks and fermentation in stainless steel autoclaves, the rest of the underground hall of oak barrels, all in large quantities. After hearing the explanations of the tab came to tasting the wine. Try their wines well prepared, with emphasis on sparkling, round, fine. Always appreciate the sparkling quality of the Salton. By curiosity to try the wine Canon, this sweet table wine, is the most sold in the parishes of Brazil.
After the trip to follow the valley of vineyards, the Winery began Marco Luigi.
Find great wines, particularly the Family Reserve line, but before the Tributo and tasted Conceito, best known wines in the day to day. We take "to go" bag in the box Tributo Merlot (R$ 34.00, 5 liters)
This wine which was very marked attention, we were very well attended by Luiza and Daniela, who gave us important tips on the Valley of the Vineyards. We were there by half past two in the afternoon and we had lunch, they gave us three names of restaurants in the region: Casa Valduga, ZandonáI and Sborneas.
At Casa Valduga not left us nor go through the gate, said they were blended with a tour and that preferred not to take wrong turn away. (a visitor who knows, the next trip).
The ZandonáI was closed, a bar next to it belongs to the restaurant have reported that when the hands are at noon it's time for lunch, and serving there until the 14 hours up to a master of the Italian accent asked if that came lunch hours or dinner?
Our salvation was the Sborneas, we were very well received by waiters who had a great mood, the house was not full, they do not work with excursions.
We have masses of rotation of (R$ 30,00 / person), first a soup capeletti and after various types of pasta to the sauce: the sugo, the pesto, garlic and oil ... We miss a lasagna. The cockerel was a fantastic sauce, crispy skin, a delight ...
To accompany the meal we accept the suggestion of a Pizzati Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (R$. $ 30.00), married very well.
We in the "broom", then by 16 hours.
We Miolo by Winery, a great seat, great. It was crowded, there were two buses, two vans and several cars in the parking, we only see the shop for the wines.
We went to the end of the day to Pizzato Vines and Wine, know more about the wine we had company for lunch.
There they value the quality of grapes, which gives rise to good wine. Pizzato all wine is made with grapes themselves, they also sell a portion of the grapes to others.
The process of winemaking is done with modern equipment, fermentation in stainless steel tanks with refrigeration coil. After the wines rest in oak barrels to sharpen the flavors.
There are many other wineries in the region and in other nearby cities, but have not had time to visit them, leave for another occasion.
Evaluation of the trip:
Positive points:
- The proper care in Marco Luigi
- Gaucho hospitality of the people, information was always passed with joy.
- Very nice place, many well known wineries in the same place. All welcome the tourist.
- BR 116 is very well maintained and signposted
Negative points:
- Schedule your time, because not all restaurants operate in the afternoon as in São Paulo.
- Toll Gates, through a toll of 16 in St. André Bento Gonçalves, R ± cost of R$ 65.00 per order.
- BR 116 in the first stage after Bento Gonçalves, is very winding and narrow, not like a federal highway.
