Brazil’s wine industry is one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving in South America, though it remains relatively under the radar internationally. The country’s primary winegrowing region is Rio Grande do Sul, in the far south near Uruguay and Argentina, where a temperate climate and hilly terrain provide favorable conditions for viticulture. Here, the Serra Gaúcha region is the historic heart of Brazilian wine, established by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century, and is known for producing both still and sparkling wines. Brazil’s humid climate poses challenges, particularly fungal diseases, so many producers rely on disease-resistant hybrid varieties as well as Vitis vinifera grapes like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. In recent decades, sparkling wine has emerged as Brazil’s standout category, with traditional method styles gaining international recognition for their freshness and balance. Regions like Vale dos Vinhedos have earned DO status, and a new wave of winemakers is focusing on quality, terroir, and export potential. With continued investment, technological innovation, and growing interest in sustainable practices, Brazil’s wine industry is carving out a distinctive identity in the global market, particularly in the premium sparkling segment.
