Indicio is a dynamic Douro winery founded by Marco Lourenço and Alexandre Botelho, a visionary duo. Their passion for the region's unique terroir and desire to craft authentic wines led them to establish Indicio in pursuit of wines that truly reflect the soul of the Douro Valley.
Lourenço and Botelho are deeply committed to sustainable viticulture. Indicio's vineyards, characterized by steep terraces, are farmed organically, respecting the delicate ecosystem of the Douro. The winemakers believe in minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar, allowing the grapes to express their full potential.
The winery's focus is on producing wines that capture the essence of the Douro's diverse microclimates. Indicio utilizes Indigenous grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, and Tinta Roriz for its reds and Gouveio and Rabigato for its whites. Its winemaking philosophy centers on gentle handling, Indigenous yeasts, and minimal technological intervention. This approach results in wines that are both complex and reflective of the unique terroir.
With their innovative spirit and unwavering dedication to quality, Marco Lourenço and Alexandre Botelho have positioned Indicio as a leading force in the Douro's new generation of winemakers. Their wines offer a compelling exploration of the region's potential.
