Irene Alemany and Laurent Corrio have been making wines in Penedès since 1999 after meeting in Burgundy while staging winemaking. Following their passion for winemaking, they worked for a few years in Burgundy and California until Irene’s father finally convinced them to take over the family vineyard planted by Irene’s grandfather, which also transmitted in her the love for wine. Since then, their name has become a benchmark in Penedès thanks to a very personal approach to understanding viticulture. The area was focused on making high-volume sparkling wine, and their Burgundian techniques were revolutionary and criticized at the time. In fact, they decided to leave the appellation (Vi de Garatge) and follow their own rules. Their facility is very modest, a real garage. The quality of the small wine they produced is all they care about. They started making red, with a combination of old vine Carinena, and some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that they planted in 1999.
They work their vineyards and produce characterful wines under a non-negotiable criterion: maximum fidelity to the land. Theirs is the story of a dream and a decision. The story of a shared passion.
