Throughout
the main immigration period (1824 to 1937), scores of immigrants
began to arrive in Rio Grande do Sul. First came the Germans
who established themselves in the Vale do Rio dos Sinos, close
to Porto Alegre, the state capital; then came the Italians
who headed towards the mountain ridges and the towns of Caxias
do Sul, Flores da Cunha, Bento Gonçalves and Garibaldi
where they planted vines and started producing wine.
Nowadays
this region, which provided the setting for the film, "O
Quatrilho" by Fábio Barreto, that competed for
an Oscar for best foreign film in 1995, is Brazil's largest
producer of wine…
