Story
Partida Creus
Penedès · Catalonia · Spain
The Partida Creus winery is renowned for its distinctive and vibrant natural wines, which began in 2001 by Italian architects Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori. Originally from Turin, they decided to radically transform their lives and careers by moving to the remote village of Bonastre in the Penedès region of Spain, near Tarragona. There, they acquired and renovated an abandoned cottage, laying the foundations for their winery. With a passion for preserving local viticultural heritage, they sought out and revived ancient, often forgotten grape varieties such as Gra Gros, Macabeu, Xarel-lo, and Vermell, as well as rare varieties like Garrut and Sumoll. Their vineyard practices are based on biodynamic principles, emphasising a harmonious and sustainable approach.
“In the cellar, they maintain a minimal intervention philosophy, using wild fermentations and avoiding fining, filtration, and the addition of sulphur dioxide.”
Their wines are known for their clarity, purity, and vibrant character, with each bottle reflecting the unique terroir of the Penedès region. Antonella and Massimo's dedication to natural winemaking techniques ensures that every sip offers a true taste of their commitment to quality and authenticity.
