The
Ametller family have dedicated their
lives to grape growing in the Catalan
Penedès since the first half of
the nineteenth century.The founder of
this family of grape growers was Joan
Ametller Fortuny who originally came
from the region of Salom in the neighbouring
Tarragona.In 1824, he set up in Sant
Mart Sarroca in the northern part of
the Penedès region.
In
1832, he acquired the once small operation,which
with the passing of time has now turned
into the Ametller Vineyards.
His
descendants developed the wine operation
and manufactured wines, which were distributed
in the traditional bulk form of that
time.The oenology of the new millennium
has brought to light that the end quality
of the product is really predetermined
by the first phase of this marvellous
process; the development of the grape
in the vineyard.
