ABOUT THIS WINE
Coranya Sangenís i Vaqué is a red wine from the Sangenís i Vaqué SL winery, located in the DOC Priorat region of Catalonia, Spain. The winery was established in 1978 by Pere Sangenís and Conxita Vaqué, continuing a family winemaking tradition from the 17th century. The wine is produced from grapes grown on the family's 'La Coranya' vineyard plot, planted in 1978, situated on the characteristic 'llicorella' slate soils of Porrera. The region's dry climate and poor soils contribute to low yields and concentrated fruit.
