Coma Romà (D.O. Penedès) - organic wines

Can Guilera estate is located close to the village of Sant Pau d’Ordal, on the slopes of the Ordal massif (Penedès region). The vineyards are planted at an altitude between 250 and 350 metres, arranged in terraces, locally known as ‘comas’. From there, it comes the name Coma Romà. The ‘comas’ are south oriented, following the terrain undulations over the craggy Ordal’s orography.

Guilera family takes care of the environment in a very special way. Nature gives its best fruits when it is respected. Following this philosophy, Coma Romà vineyards are worked under the organic farming certification. Their aim is to recover the authenticity at its best.

After a rigorous selection process of the vineyards and the right ripening moment, they choose a small part of the grape production. Coma Romà wine is made with the most exclusive part of the whole estate production.
