Curiosities:

The conservation of eight centenarian walnut trees located in the vineyards was the starting point that determined the location of the winery. From the beginning we opted for a scheme that would enhance this preexistence in the form of a patio around which the various functions would be developed.
The entire winery is integrated into the natural landscape that envelops it through a continuous and fluid ivy mantle, enriched with the majesty of the century-old walnut trees.
