Materramenta

The Materramenta project is based on family principles, combining a love for wine, the land and the people of the Biscoitos region, on the island of Terceira, in the Azores. With the firm conviction that it is our duty to play an active role in promoting Biscoitos, we have chosen to develop a strategy that puts the quality of the wines first, leaving economic aspects in the background.
We want to honour Materramenta, the first owner of the Biscoitos lands and predecessor of Pedro Anes do Canto, by seeking to ensure that human intervention enhances the natural flavours of this terroir, whose landscape was designed by skilled hands who were aware that each stone has its specific place, and nothing can be left to chance.
The secret to its success lies in a perfect harmony between the experience accumulated since the 16th century and the most recent and demanding oenological knowledge. The black stones, formed from magma, heat the vines and protect them from the harsh salt-laden winds of this sea that defines us, giving this nectar unique characteristics. It is our intention that tasting this wine will instantly transport us to the vineyards of Biscoitos and the hard, entirely manual work that is done there throughout the year.
