[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Strong projects are born from leaders’ strategic vision.\u00a0 Manuel Bio, manager and entrepreneur, with roots in the left bank of river Guadiana, saw opportunities in the cooperative Adega Granja Amareleja where others were seeing a certain bankruptcy. His father was member of the cooperative. This motivated his interest in the situation of the cooperative. As a good son of the region, he decided to help. In 2007, Manuel took the leadership of the cooperative. In a few years, he restored the cooperative’s credibility and regained the collaboration of most of its previous members. And this was the starting point for a project now called Abegoaria. The strategic and commercial vision of Manuel Bio and the continuous search for production solutions to fuel the business, lead him to develop new projects, first in Alentejo, then in Douro, Lisboa, Tejo, D\u00e3o and Vinho Verde wine regions, and now as well in Algarve, Beira Interior and Azores. Today, Abegoaria is a wine business with projects also in olive oil, cheese, ham and sausages and enotourism, with strong national footprint and increasingly becoming a major player in wine exports.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”inner-row-medium” css=”.vc_custom_1565708347092{margin-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/5″ el_class=”people-detail animated slideInLeft duration2 eds-on-scroll”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1565708432360{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
