The terroir of Laguardia
Through the years, our family has preserved and collected new parcels that we currently try to interpret in the best way possible. Concealed town pieces, Laguardia, conveys what happens in every corner, its energy and character. With an assembly of plots, our most important purpose is how we understand the wine.
Through the respect of annual climatic changes, the soils and its nature, and the work of the people, we preserve a path of necessary values that may help this place be understood, loved, respected and preserved.
These plots are a demonstration of our vision, unity, acceptance and submission to nature’s annual offers, so that we may express it in each bottle.
Laguardia
The terroir of a town that exudes winemaking history and tradition. Once again reflecting the humility and pride of small town wines (expressing the values of its people, culture and traditions) similar to our former generations.
OUR PARCELS
Our ambition to always go one step further, our views on viticulture passed on from generations, the unconditional desire to reveal and offer the secrets nature keeps, working small plots of land that are unique and limited, make our emotions/project, to go in a deeper course.
These are some of the parcels, which express the emotions of each vintage and terroir of this place, the acquaintance of its soul, its language and its expression.
