Founded in 1946 by Mario Barbeito Vasconcedos, the company has always been a family-run business. The founder's own daughter, Manuela Vasconcelos, who started working for the company in 1972, took the helm. Continuing her father's work, Manula played a very important role in strengthening the company's ability to compete in the national and foreign markets, in the nineteen-eighties. In 1991, Manuela passed the leadership over to her son Ricardo Diogo Freitas, who has preserved the traditional methods of wine-making, recuperated forgotten techniques and brought new energy, technological modernization and innovative spirit to the company. He creates artisan wines produced from the traditional variaties of grapes, from unique vines ande from single casks. Ricardo Diogo Freitas contributes in his own personal way to the history of Madeira wine by producing also 20, 30, 40 year old and older blends. After 10 years, Ricardo Diogo fulfills his promise to release the second blend of Malvasia 30 years. This time, he pays tribute to his grandmother. This year we celebrate Barbeito’s 70th anniversary, an important milestone in our history. Family tradition is well represented by this release to which he has carefully chosen the best Malvasia wines aged by the traditional Canteiro method in our warehouses. It aims to be an example of a blend in which very old wines are added and where sweetness is hardly noticed at the beginning and end of the mouth.
