The Integrity Take

I met the ladies from Lagravera at Millesime Bio in 2024. I was directed to them by our friend Pep from Loxarel when he said i MUST try these wines. He was right! Pilar and Ariadna's enthusiasm for their project was infectious. Soon after that meeting, I journeyed to visit them in Lleida, Spain. What I saw in their ancient vineyards and their home vineyard was impressive. Wines of great expression anchored to long history of wine in Catalonia.

The Story

An exceptional and natural setting for making unique wines.

Join us to discover the specific characteristics of the rock formations that make up the backbone of our terroir: La Serra Llarga.

Lagravera

Historically, since the time of the Roman Empire, this little piece of the world was a land of vineyards and wine, but with the arrival of the Aragón canal, phylloxera, the rural exodus and the uprooting of vineyards, 90% of the vineyards in the region disappeared. region. Part of these are the ones that, thanks to the Arnó family, we are recovering. As owners of a construction company, the Arnós planted vineyards on the barren ground where an old gravel pit lay to restore it, recover the wine tradition of the area and produce the best wine that this privileged land can produce. It is no coincidence that the historical names of the area refer to the vineyards and the wine, such as “El Pla de les Vinyes”, “El Vinyet”, “Mas La Parra” or “Botella”.

On the axis between the Pyrenees and the Ebro Valley, the longest gypsum mountain range in Europe rises. La Serra Llarga is part of this and also happens to be where we have found an ideal place to make great wine.

A natural location where extreme climate contrasts and soil composition make up the ideal setting for growing vines.

The secret lies in the soil of our terroirs rich in gypsum, that provides our wines with freshness and salinity making them gastronomic.

For these soils there is no known middle ground, but we know that the extreme climate contrasts are crucial to our wines’ color, flavor and texture, and that they protect the grapes in a natural way, allowing us to reduce the amount of sulfites.

We are scientists by training and farmers by vocation.

Our two worlds meet in Lagravera, where all our wine-making processes are as natural as possible, observing and accompanying the grape without relinquishing any technical advances in order to ensure a high quality wine.
