Overview

One of the vineyards that Dani Landi inherited and Curro Barreño now farms, Cantos del Diablo, is a 0.35-hectare plot of 70+-year-old vines near El Real de San Vicente in Mentrida. A combination of sparsely planted vines, exposure, climate, and the age of the vines means that yields here are quite low. This cool site ripens late and makes for a wine that shows the ethereal aromatics typical of Garnacha grown on sandy granitic soils combined with a density and finesse characteristic of Garnacha from the Gredos.
