PROPOSTA 1 DE 2 · The flavours of Cabeceiras

One name, several lands

Cabeceiras · Vine vocabulary

A partridge’s foot, but in the vineyard

The Vinho Verde wine commission identifies Pé de Perdiz as a name for Arinto in Cabeceiras de Basto. It also mentions Pedernã in the region and Perdigão in Mondim. Knowing these names helps when listening to vineyard stories: a local name does not, by itself, mean a different grape variety. The CVRVV profile adds large, compact bunches with small berries. The variety is used both in wines made only from Arinto and in blends of white grape varieties. Traditional name, grape appearance and wine composition are three different ways into the same story.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Write Arinto in the center of a leaf and connect it to Pé de Pardiz, Pedernã and Perdigão.
  2. Add to each name the territory referred to in this reading. Then make a second group for Borraçal, Bogalhal and Eye of Frog.
  3. If you pick up a name in a conversation, write down who uses it and where.

An activity to try at your own pace, without collecting specimens.

PROPOSTA 2 DE 2 · Crafts and memories

Compare two solutions

Alvite and Passos · irrigation documented in 2008

The water changed its path

The municipal record for Poça do Monte, surveyed on 14 April 2008, describes a change in Alvite: the shared users piped the natural-ground channel in 2001. It was about one kilometre long and used water from the Ribeiro Furado spring. The record identifies seven shared users and mentions a steep initial slope. This story helps distinguish the old open channel from piped water conveyance. The document cannot establish the network’s condition today and does not present a walking route.

Vamos experimentar?

  1. Split a sheet into two columns: before and after.
  2. Note the change described in the text and the date of the source.
  3. Write a question the document leaves open.

Exploitation of the document, no visit to the real estate.
