Casa da Passarella
The mystery of the box found within one of the walls of Casa da Passarella is finally solved. The story begins in 1942 when a box is walled up in one of the rooms of Casa da Passarella by its former owners, containing a document written in cursive with instructions to be opened 50 years later.
In the document, signed by a set of emblematic characters of the time, there was also a final wish: that all the values stored in the box be distributed to the poor. Yet none of these two things happened. It was only in 2010, when Casa underwent renovations, that the box was found and opened. And there was nothing inside.
Investigations progressed, never unraveling the mystery. When it seemed that resignation was winning over persistence, an expert in the unusual was called to the scene: “the box was indeed full,” explained Professor K. Noronha, “but not of tangible, material things. The box was imbued with an extraordinary essence that, reacting with the times to come, would bring happiness through wine to all who made art and profit from it. Now, those times to come are already part of the present. And this is a double discovery,” he concluded.
The Discovery is a white wine DOC Dão from the Sub-region of Serra da Estrela. It is born from vines planted in poor, granitic soils, in a mountain climate.
