Agricola de Cadalso is a producer that has quickly become a shining star in the world of Spanish wines. Located in the picturesque mountain range of Sierra de Gredos, just 90 minutes west of Madrid, Agricola de Cadalso is led by renowned winemaker, Daniel Landi. With a family history deeply rooted in grape growing, Landi's passion for winemaking led him to establish his own label, and he has since transformed the Sierra de Gredos into a haven for fine wines.
Despite being relatively unknown for years, the region has recently gained attention from critics, and Jancis Robinson hails the wines from Sierra de Gredos as "ethereal and lighter" compared to other Spanish Garnachas. This is largely due to the abundance of old-vine Grenache and the immense potential of the area.
In addition to producing exceptional wines under his own label, Landi is also actively involved in preserving the rich wine-growing tradition in Sierra de Gredos. He works closely with local growers, providing them with the resources and expertise needed to turn their grapes into quality wines at Agricola de Cadalso - a cooperative that has been operating since 1956.
Landi's dedication to protecting the best vineyard sites, preventing land sales, and preserving the livelihoods of growers has breathed new life into the wines of this region. The wines of Agricola de Cadalso are a true testament to the hard work and collaboration of all involved, and a shining example of the growing quality of wines in Sierra de Gredos. With every sip, one can taste the passion, commitment, and expertise that go into every bottle produced by this exceptional producer.
