Basic Info
This project from Fernando Barrena (of Azul y Garanza) and his wife, Marian, is located in the northernmost part of the DO Jumilla in the high Hoya Torres Valley with shallow, calcareous soil in arid conditions. The majority of the vines are Pie Franco (on their own rootstock) and farmed 100% organically. Altamente vinos is a family project that combines passion, experience and roots in its search to extract the best of Monastrell grapes. To that end, we select the best Monastrell grapes from organic vineyards still from European roots. Located in a 900 meters high valley over a shallow and calcareous soil and under a mountain climate influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, conditions are perfect for the production of the highest quality wine: elegant, well-balanced and highly fruity. In short, Monastrell in its purest form.
