Vineyard and Winemaking

 

Luis XIV red vermouth is a smooth and aromatic wine made from wine aged for two months in centenary barrels.

It is, in short, a very Mediterranean vermouth, with pleasant aromas of cinnamon and spices, a medium sweetness and a long, lingering finish.

No coloring added.

The Winery

 

In the 60s, the centenary Bodegas Ferrero, in the municipality of La Cañada (Alicante), ceased its activity and as a result the family has been inheriting generation after generation what was left of it, an incredible room of centenary barrels in extraordinary conditions of conservation that have been brought to the present day. A set of very old soleras, unaltered for more than 60 years.

This great collection of barrels houses classic dry fondillones. But also sweet wines, typical of the characteristic style of Alto Vinalopó.

In this sub-zone of the Alicante Denomination of Origin, dessert wines achieved great fame and popularity during the 19th century.
