Description:	The vitiviniculture in the São Francisco Valley is recent and in full development activity. The production of grapes for fresh consumption was introduced in São Francisco Valley region in the 50s and the production of grapes for wines is a more recent activity with the first activities in the middle 80s with a great increase only in 2000. Nowadays the São Francisco Valley is the second largest producing region of fine wines using Vitis vinifera varieties in Brazil. The wine industry in the São Francisco Valley has unique soil and climate characteristics, differing from other traditional areas. It is located in semi-arid tropical climate zone, with an annual average temperature of 26ºC, high levels of solar radiation and maximum annual rainfall of approximately 500 mm. These factors, combined with the lack of winter and the availability of water for irrigation, allow the vines to have a continuous cycle, with production of grapes and wines throughout the year and up to three harvests per year
