A white flag, with the municipal arms in the center.

but it makes no real sense, showing a white diamond shape on a white field.

On the arms, the tree recalls the town's name, lit. Black Brazilian
Pine. The grapes highlight the significance of wine-growing in the municipality.
Gerino de Costa planted in 1919 the first grapevine, which produced two years
later Santa Catarina's first wine. The municipality has now some 20
wine-growers, who account for 70% of the state's production.
