WHO CAN CONTRACT
It is a story of 9 generations dedicated with body and soul to the vineyard. Farmers who have worked the land forever. Since the 18th century, according to documents from the Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs Monastery, where they paid their tributes, the Massana family has been linked to Mediterranean cultivation: vineyards, corn, peaches and other fruits, all acclimatized to the land of the farm .
Eudald's grandfather, Josep Massana Carbó, and his father, Antoni Massana Ràfols, received several recognitions throughout his career in the wine world.
A history marked, then, by the Massana family entrepreneurship, which was consolidated with the entry of a new generation, Eudald, who together with his parents created a new wine project that today has become a company with its own identity. From his childhood, Eudald Massana dreamed of making wine and fighting to make him one of the best. After 9 generations, this is now a reality and Eudald himself explains that running the winery is "a commitment and a pride".
Organic farming allows full respect for the environment and herbicides, insecticides and synthetic products are not used.
The biological balance of plants and nature is sought, for this reason their cycle is respected, in harmony with the environment and its diversity. To develop this type of agriculture, the land is worked taking into account the biodynamic states.
The waste generated is returned to its site, thus achieving a closed cycle within the farm and thus becoming a sustainable company.
