Don Guerino: a modern winery with cutting edge technologies

One of the most beautiful wineries in Brazil well known by its high quality wines, its architecture and the beautiful landscape around the company

Don Guerino story starts in 1879 when Guerino Motter came on south of Brazil from Italy. At the beginning the company sold its grapes to the big wineries of Brazil. In the 2000 the Motter family decided to start the production of its own wine. So they’ve commissioned the construction of a new modern winery with the best winemaking technologies in order to produce high quality wines.

Now Don Guerino have 55 hectares of vineyards at 450 meters height. Also the company sell its wines in Brazil and many countries like: USA, UK, Germany and Austria. Don Guerino cultivate French vines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, Italian vines like Moscato Giallo and Teroldego, but also two Argentinian vines: the Malbec and the Torrontés.
