Miolo - Brazil
Miolo Winery was started by Giuseppe Miolo from Italy in 1897 with its first vineyard in Vale dos Vinhedos which, today, is the only growing region in Brazil designated with Denomination of Origin (D.O.V.V.). Miolo is the main producer of Brazil’s famed sparkling wines and also makes quality still wines from four different regions.
