The Curii Tinto is the result of the personal project of Violeta Gutiérrez de la Vega, daughter of the owner of the renowned winery Gutiérrez de La Vega, and Alberto Redrado, prestigious sommelier awarded the National Gastronomy Award for Best Sommelier in 2009. Together, since 2010, they have sought to rescue vineyards and native varieties of the Marina Alta, such as Giró, applying techniques that respect the environment and producing wines with minimal intervention. The grapes come from small plots located in the Sierra de Bernia, in Benisa and Xaló, and are grown in clay soils with limestone stones. After the manual harvest, the grapes ferment with native yeasts and the wine is aged for one year in neutral French oak barrels and another year in old American oak barrels. The result is a wine full of freshness, intensity and a great expression of the Mediterranean terroir.
