HISTORY The TITAN project's work, from the beginning, has always focused on finding old vines in the most authentic and least explored places, where there were new stories to tell through wine. The passion for the Távora-Varosa region dates back a long way, both due to its proximity and its inspiration in Aquilino Ribeiro's novel "Terras do Demo" (Lands of the Devil). A rugged, rugged mountain range with poor terrain that keeps its people on the fringes of civilization, allowing nature, and often the Devil, to dictate the rules. A region of excellence for the production of Portugal's finest sparkling wines, we wanted to do something different and highlight still wines with a mineral, fresh, and unique character—in essence, as we affectionately call them, "Sparkling wines without bubbles."
