Brazil is
not all rain forest, beaches and bossa nova - its sheer size extends
down to more temperate climates far from the Equator, where the
climate is cooler - and drier!
Here is where
Italian immigrants began the modern-day wine growing industry
in Brazil in the 1880's to grow the crop into a major industry.
Today, most
vines continue to grow well below the tropical north and do best
in what is now the largest growing region, the Rio Grande do Sul,
Brazil's southernmost state.
The main wineries
are: Miolo, Casa Valduga and Cave do Amadeu, producing wine from
European Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes. Learn
