Fira del Vi – Wine Festival, Falset, Spain
5 – 6 May 2018
5 – 6 May 2018
At this three-day festival, Fira del Vi, you’ll be introduced to the wine culture of this region.
It’s an area that has long been associated with the craftsmanship of producing wine by hand.
Wine tasting is the order of the day and you’ll have many chances to talk to the producers.
It wouldn’t be a festival without fabulous food and great music to accompany all the tastings.
Some events take place in interesting and historically rich locations, such as the former lead mine, Bellmunt del Priorat Mines and Museum.
The international reputation of the wine attracts an international audience
The two internationally recognised denominations of origin are DOQ Priorat and Monsant.
The steep terrain means that the whole process is done by hand as machines can’t reach the grapevines growing on the 45 degree angled hills.
So the wine is produced by hand as it has been done for centuries.
Crops have been in this area since the 12th Century when the monks of the Scala Monastery started making wine.
The domain of the prior of the abbey covered several neighbouring towns and that is where the name of the area, Priorat, originated.
Montsant
Grenache and carignan are two of the outstanding wines produced here.
Almost half the of the high-quality wine produced today is exported.
DOQ Priorat
Winner of prestigious international awards, the Priorat wines are extremely popular.
The characteristics of the Priorat make the wine produced here unique and exclusive.
It bears the Qualified Designation of Origin which means protective measures are in place to ensure the continued quality of the wine produced.
