Curiosities

Alicante is historically a land of wines and in Seque we find that living mark of Phoenicians and Romans. Motivated by the desire to produce wines with historical content and attracted by the Mediterranean climate, the Artadi Group acquired the property in 1999. Here they combine their own climate and soil, a vineyard, a variety, the Monastrell, and a millenary tradition. 40 hectares of vineyard settled on land of scant structure. Brown-limestone soils, very poor in clay and humus, which makes them perfect for the production of great wines and tasty character Mediterranean. The richness of the contrasts, the light, the sun and the freshness of the Levantine understory, assembled in a caress.
