“In the 1950s our family produced wine Mantonegro in Santa Maria del Cami. Today we retain those ancient vines and over time we have been adding varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot or Viognier. We enjoy a special microclimate in the area that influences positively on the nuances of our wines. We are a small family business that focuses on quality rather than quantity.
We were pioneers in producing 100 % organic and we believe that our artisanal philosophy is essential to achieve the best results.” Source: Web Es Verger
