As he himself acknowledges, they are gaining creativity and innovation and winemakers are worrying about recovering local varieties such as Bobal, Meseguera or Giró. In fact, he confirms that “this is probably the best moment for Valencian wines . ”
-How do you value the work that the Valencian wineries are doing?
– They are in a very sweet moment in creativity and innovation, of returning to the past, of recovering local varieties and of exalting grapes such as Bobal, Merseguera or Giró. Furthermore, there are different realities in the Valencian Community that range from very precise vitifications to airs of freedom, a sense of movement, curiosity, growth and conceptual maturity.
In short, it is an area in which we can observe the Mediterranean coast with many lights and very few shadows and with the ability to show and breathe the Mediterranean in the bottle. In my opinion, it is probably the best moment of Valencian wines.
– Despite the moment we are experiencing as a result of the pandemic…
– Yes, nature gives you lessons, you have to understand it, listen to it and accept your smallness but, at the same time, take advantage of talent, since currently there is very good work behind it of the wineries and I think it is a time to be very aware Telegram Number Data of what is happening in the Valencian Community. We are very excited and grateful for the reception our restaurant concept has had. We open coinciding with Christmas so that people can come to celebrate their most special moments in a safe environment. For us, the most important thing is the well-being of our clients and our team, which is why we implement numerous hygiene and safety measures ,” says Gonzalo Calvo , founder and president of Grupo Saona.

– Wines with less aging and fewer barrels are becoming fashionable. What is your opinion of these wines?
– We could say that sometimes less is more. It is true that from the Mediterranean we have sought an approach to wines with a more Atlantic style, packaging and volume and with very long aging. It is also true that the Mediterranean allows you to make wines that have a directness, a purity of style and a delicacy. Furthermore, there are grapes like Mandó that do not ask for power, Forcallà or Verdil that show us that there is another way, taking into account that the Mediterranean is lightness and at the same time containment and that youth does not mean that it is a small wine. but it has to be an accessible wine but we also have to think that it is a very interesting way to bring it closer to the cuisine that represents the entire Valencian Community.
