Beginning...

In my village it is said that in 1900 people did not know the forest. The whole surrounding landscape was
vineyards. At that time in my small town there were at that time 300 ha of vineyard, in the year 2000 the
surface of vineyard was of little more than one ha. During the last century, almost all the vineyards were
abandoned, thus disappearing from our landscape and being occupied by pines and oaks.
 
My first vintage was at the age of seventeen in the vineyard of some friends who decided to keep the 
vineyard of the father of one of them for romance and especially to have fun. Explaining this fact to my
grandmother, I remembered at home my great-grandparents how beautiful the vineyards of her childhood
were.
 
In 2006 I had the opportunity to go and live on the farm of Can Pau Bernadó. With this "contract" of
peasantry I can live in a rural environment and there begins to take shape my project to recover old
vineyards. In 2010 I created the association Piensa en vi with the aim of making known and disseminating
the natural, historical and cultural heritage of the region taking as a backbone the vineyard and wine. And
the same year began the replanting of 0.1 ha of self-consumption. Soon, however, I encounter many
administrative hurdles. This, however, does not stop me from starting to make my first wines for
self-consumption with historical varieties.
 In 2011 I started a micro-patronage project through which about eighty patrons collaborate in the purchase
of the most basic material to carry out a small shared self-learning warehouse.

 In 2013, I set up the Talcomraja winery on the same estate as Can Pau Bernadó, where I continue to
produce

the wines he was already making by adding grapes from a Mataró vineyard with the Merlot and Cabernet 
varieties.
Until then, I always followed the guidelines of organic farming, both in the vineyard and in the
winery with techniques such as filtration, tartaric precipitation, clarifications, addition of sulfites ...
with which I did not feel very comfortable. In 2014 I started making my first natural wines.
 That same year, I started working a vineyard in the municipality of st. Cebrià de Vallalta, 20 years old
 of antiquity and varieties Merlot and Cabernet.
In 2016 I started a second micro-patronage project "we unveiled the vineyard" to replant one
vineyard of 0'3 ha of the tempranillo variety in Can Pau Bernadó and the following year (2017) reaching a
In agreement with the owners of the Can Sala de Dalt estate, we replanted the historic 3ha vineyard
this farm disappeared in the mid-60s. The varieties planted are native (monastrell, white currant and black 
grenache).
 During these years I have been accompanied in this project by very different people from whom I have 
learned and who
they have helped me in replanting, harvesting and vinification processes. At present, I
continue
working the vineyards of Mataró and Can Sala and vintage also half ha in Tordera. Faces in the
next year, I will start replanting a new 2 ha vineyard on the Roca del Llop estate (the idea is
 plant 6 different varieties of grenache). With the association Piensa en vi I continue to spread the word
 and pedagogy of the importance of agroecology. With this entity since the year
2019 begins the NaNo festival coinciding with the main festival of Arenys where several producers of
 Natural wines expose their young wines.
Today these wines are sold only within the Catalan territory through direct sale in the
 Saturday slow food market in the Paral • lel (BCN) or through the distributor specialized in
