A very special wine, extremely personal, to which the white grape variety, Timorasso, native to southeast Piedmont, contributes. This winery has 2.2ha planted since 1990, yielding an approximate annual production of 6,200 bottles and 300 magnums.

With age, it gains stunning, improved, incredible maturity and complexity without losing vitality. It has exuberant aromas: fruity, of aging without wood, floral, honeyed…in succession in the nose and in the mouth. On the palate it produces other sensations, always delicate, velvety, balanced (it is entirely rounded), such as acidity and bitterness, as well as body, giving it substance, great character, and, above all, immense charm.

Shows greater structure and stronger flavor than ever, though what shines is its character. Delicate, clean aromas, with fruit being the dazzling element; somewhat acidic fragrances, mainly citrus, more specifically of lime peel, intermingled with other fruits, such as apple and even tropical fruits, giving it complexity and a refreshing quality. On the palate it confirms its olfactory elements, with the characteristics typical of this variety, very polished by the bottle, inviting to drink and to offer; charmingly unpretentious.

In short, for another year Joan has shown us his cards: proprietary vineyards that produce good raw materials and an unyielding principle, the search for the natural, with a successfully achieved goal: for the grape to shine.

The best wine ever made without using wood in Spain. An assertion based on much more than just a vintage, since it is already supported by many extraordinary ones. As a consequence, we can assert that this wine and its maker, Marisol Bueno, are making history.

We have here a painstakingly selected Albariño grape aged only in stainless steel for 36 months—a pioneer when it comes to understanding this type of wine in the region. Thus, it has infinite personality and extraordinary quality. Great olfactory and gustative concentration in which the fruit predominates, both acidic, such as apple and tropical, and very ripe, such as raisins, with notes of honey, dried apricots and quince, giving it a great richness of nuances. On the palate, its considerable body stands out, showing great life, as well as its gustative exuberance that reduces sweet, sour and bitter notes. Always elegant, harmonious and exuberant.
16,000 spectacular bottles.

This wine shows vocation and style and is backed by a great vintage. Elegant, with character and complexity. It has fruit, high in quality and ripe, giving it nobility; and it is well made, giving it very balanced toasted notes with a coffee finish. This moving aromatic sensation translates to the palate, where its good structure is palpable, with delicate acidic and tannic notes that contribute to accentuating its freshness; it is full and long.

Joan Cusiné cannot keep from making his concerns obvious, allowing him to place his winery among the elite of Cava. This is a product made in the image and method of the great champagnes, enhancing its vinosity with bubbles. It is a Chardonnay, fermented and aged in barrels before being transferred to bottles, where it undergoes secondary fermentation and remains for two years before entering the market.

Attractive golden color, luxurious and resplendent, accentuating its beauty with the quantity of bubbles. Clean, fine aromas in which fruit and wood are perfectly combined, with delicate, citrus and oak sensations. On the palate it is also subtle and fresh, with constant vinosity; playful, crisp, with an alchemistic dry-acidic-bitter balance.

A historic vintage and a legendary name make for a champagne for the ages, paying homage to the drink, the brand…and life itself. As with great wines that fully stand the test of time.

In the nose, the complex notes of mineral salts, roasting and woody spices mix quickly with those of caramel and dried citrus peel, creating a seductive and refreshing sweet and sour sensation. On the palate it is elegant, rich, penetrating, without being opulent; always with the immense merit of great perfection and harmony. The long citrus confit flavor stays on the palate and turns into a silky, precise ensemble that epitomizes freshness and exquisiteness.

Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and aged for 13 years.

An extraordinarily complex wine that first seduces, then drives the drinker wild—it establishes a transcendental dialogue with supremely complicated messages that one perceives but has difficulty deciphering. Very ripe red fruit, licorice, forest, balsamic, dried fruits, vanilla, leather…and wood are notably present. On the palate, some of these are reproduced; above all the fruit and the flavors from aging, well combined, as well as dryness and warmth. Deep, mature, velvety, extremely long and with a very particular character.

100% nebbiolo. Vineyard yield: 4,000 kilos per hectare. A portion of the wine was aged for two years in 30 and 35 hectoliter Slovenian and French oak casks, and another 12 months in 225 liter French oak barrels. 45,000 bottles.
