The García Alba family, whose head of the family, Dimas García Canedo, started the Vinos Valtuille project in 1999. Today the company is a reality that two of their four children manage and grow: Elena and Marcos.
The family winery is the reflection of the values inherited generation after generation. EFFORT, the fundamental pillar. RESPECT and CARE for the earth, the guidelines that mark the ROADMAP.
Marcos is in charge of the control of the vineyard and the elaboration of the wines, using the advice that his grandfather Antonio gave him years ago. Marcos, like life in Valtuille, is the TRANQUILITY of the winery, he understands their wines and gives them the necessary time to enjoy them at their optimum moment.
Elena for her part, like every house in Valtuille, is ACTIVITY. He is always looking for a way to progress, to do things better and thus achieve a better future.
The balance between the two parts shapes the reality of Vinos Valtuille. Similar to the balance that you find in the life of your people: tranquility but with a lot of life, with a lot of FUTURE.
