Tiago Alves de Sousa graduated with a degree in Agricultural Engineering from UTAD (University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes) and was distinguished in 2003 with the Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Engenheiro Ant\u00f3nio de Almeida prize and with the merit scholarship of the Fundo de Apoio ao Estudante, which is awarded to the best degree student.<\/p>

After several harvest internships, complemented by some training courses in the area of \u200b\u200bEnology and Viticulture and a period at the Viticulture Institute of the Catholic University of Piacenza (Italy), in 2002 he joined the Alves de Sousa team. For a few years, he accumulated the functions performed at Alves de Sousa with a PhD in Viticulture (which he would conclude with the highest classification) at the Department of Phytotechnics and Rural Engineering at the University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro, to which he has belonged, since 2020, to the faculty of the Enology degree. In the production of Douro and Port wines for the family, in addition to technical direction, he is also responsible for several export markets.<\/p>

In 2021, he accepted the invitation to be a consulting winemaker at Menin Company and has so far been actively involved in the creation of our wines.<\/p>
