DO Alentejo (Portugal)
Bodega Enoforum (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal) Alentejo is Portugal’s largest political region, encompassing about one-third of the country. It’s also the least densely populated region in Portugal. About 10 percent of Alentejo is devoted to vineyards. Much of the rest is used for growing cereal grains and olives. Alicante is located in southeastern Portugal, stretching from the River Tagus, north of the city of Portalegre, south to Serpa and the Algarve.
