Wines of border and commitment

On both sides of the Algars River, in a landscape of majestic geography, between the Terra Alta and the Matarranya, the winemaker Pol Sannicolàs Grima is recovering old vineyards in Arnes and making wine from them. “I feel responsible; everything you do in a rural environment has a greater impact and relevance than in the city. You are aware that you are part of the landscape and you also realize that you are insignificant. I don’t make wine so that someone remembers me, but to protect a territory and a culture,” he reflects out loud. He has a very close bond with the landscape and especially with those who inhabit it: “We are the only region that continues to lose population in the Terres de l’Ebre, and we want to reverse that statistic. I am from Cornellà de Llobregat, but some time ago I decided to return to my roots. My great-grandmother was born here.”
