LA CANALETA

La Canaleta is a medieval farmhouse located in Torre de les Maçanes, on the road leading into the interior of the province of Alicante. It has long been owned by the Aracil family, of ancient lineage. The site is a museum dedicated to the rural agricultural world, showcasing how people lived in the past and the products of this land, all cultivated using traditional methods. Among these, the wine deserves special mention. It is handcrafted in their own vineyards, using unique vines that the family has maintained since ancient times (before the phylloxera plague of the early 20th century), resulting in a natural, exclusive, and unrepeatable product. In addition to the old building, visitors can explore a charcoal kiln, a lime kiln, natural springs, a wine press, a waterwheel, an olive oil mill, a flour mill, an ethnographic museum, and a museum of vintage vehicles.

JUAN I MARI LOLI

A small orchard in Setla de Nunyes has been passed down from father to son for centuries; until it fell into the hands of Juan Oriola, grandson of Juanito Font –the last one to work it-. The Oriola Lledó family wanted to take care of this beloved orchard again by planting native grapes from the area: Malvasia and Giró.

Recovering the orchard has allowed us to enjoy a wine made from our own vineyards. A dream and an illusion of many years come true. We are those who believe that working the land of our ancestors is the most living legacy we can find.

ZAGATO

This wine originates in the heart of the vineyard at Masía de Capellans, in the mountains of Alicante. Not too far from the coast, it is a beautiful place surrounded by unspoiled nature and bathed in the freshness characteristic of southeastern Spain.

Zagato is the name of the perfectly oriented plot where the Monastrell vines used to make this exclusive wine are cultivated using traditional methods.

QUÀNTIC

The location of the vineyard is oriented east and below the Pic Negre (~1000 m) in Cocentaina in the Montcabrer area (1390 m) and within the Serra Mariola park. It has an altitude of about 550 meters. This situation means that the place does not suffer from frost compared to locations such as the Plana de Muro or other nearby locations since in the morning the sun only comes out as soon as it rises, but in the afternoon it is cool since the Pic Negre soon gives it shade.

Normally the minimums are mild and the maximums also especially in winter, spring and autumn. The daily temperature range is then relatively short between 5 and 10 degrees (below 5 degrees in January). In summer the situation is a little different since the sun is higher and the temperature range is longer with oscillations between 15 and 20 degrees. Precipitation records can be high in storms of gregal. The terrain contains a calcareous and stony soil. The terraces are narrow and long giving a stepped and terraced setting.

The plot has an area of one hectare, although the cultivated area is only 0.6 hectares due to its orography. The normal annual production is around 1500-2000 kg of grapes.
