PASSIMENTO ROMEO & JULIET BIANCO 2021

In 2002, Bodegas Naia set-up in La Seca, a region that is considered a grand cru in Rueda with the idea of making great white wines. Since then, the cornerstone of its work has been a selection of old vines of the autochthonous Verdejo. They are untrained vines, and some are pre-phylloxera. The vineyard is owned by Bodegas Naia and is 21.4 hectares in size and includes some strains that are more than a century old. From this raw material, the winery has been creating white wines that, over the years, have delighted many and have obtained top recognition and prizes.

The land has to be loved, protected, and cared for. We are its guardians: we want to make it profitable, not exploit it. Because, in that way, its fruits thrive all the more, and the quality of the wines that we obtain from them also continues to grow. Our members are small-scale farmers: they are familiar with every inch of their vineyards, and they know just when and how to intervene in order to obtain the best from their grapes. And we, the cooperative, help them with agronomical and oenological support, investing in specialist personnel and in production technology.
