Amandio

Owner	Real Companhia Velha

Amandio is very rare as vintage Port, bottled by Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro, better known as Real Companhia Velha or Royal Oporto.

However, Amandio’s also exists as tawny and old colheitas bottled by Amandio Silva & Filhos Ltda. Amandio Vintage 1970 is also bottled by Amandio Silva & Filhos.

We do not know but it is likely that Amandio Silva & Filhos was a small company bought by the Real Companhia Velha Group in the 1960’ies. We are grateful for any information about this brand.
