The Carcavelos wine is a generous wine produced in the region of the same name, which became famous since the period of Marquês de Pombal (1699-1782). The vitivinicultural Carcavelos region was demarcated in 1907 and confirmed for Letter of Law in 1908. In this work, a brief description of the vine and the wine history of Carcavelos region was done. A characterisation of this region in what concerns the area limits, soil, climate, grapevine varieties, viticultural surface area and production levels was also attempted. Finally, the ampelographic and the cultural characteristics of the recommended and the authorised grapevine varieties in the production of DOC (Denomination of Controled Origin) Carcavelos wine were described.
