[Producer information]

30km northeast of Tarragona, on the coast of Catalonia in northern Spain.
The owner, Mr. Massimo, is based in the inland village of Bonastre and is originally from Piedmont, Italy.
I grew up in a family that has been making wine for generations.

As his partner Antonella says, ``Massimo's blood is made of wine!'' He is such a wine lover.
I chose this location because ever since I came to Barcelona 20 years ago to work as an architect, I was particularly drawn to Tarragona in Catalonia.
In 2000, they purchased a 2ha field and began making wine.
I want to live a self-sufficient life in Catalonia,
Mr. Massimo, who was looking for a place to live, had a shocking encounter! At an altitude of 200m, 4km from the sea, we discovered several old sumoi trees planted in a field surrounded by forest.
Mr. Massimo immediately decided to make wine on this land.

The wine that Mr. Massimo makes faithfully to nature is a wine of another dimension, far away from this world!
Of course, the fields are not tilled. Grapes are hidden among a wide variety of plants, seemingly nowhere to be found.
I finally found a vine with its branches reaching high into the sky, a field I had never seen before.
"There are no weeds in this field. All the plants in the forest play some role and have a positive effect on each other."
We are dedicated to creating true terroir wines using only the local varieties originally found in this area, such as Sumoy, Garou, Viñatere, and Cartucha Vermey, in the environment provided by nature.
