FEDER program – INTERCONECTA (INNTER GAL-ENO 2012)
It improves the wine-making potential of Galician grape varieties, agronomic optimization and effect of the microclimate in the dry rot diseases incidence.
Thanks to this program, the different white varieties – Albariño, Loureiro, Treixadura, Caiño Blanco and Godello- are globally analyzed in a environmentally sustainable and respectful way. But also red varieties – Caiño Tinto and Castañal- grown in D.O. Rías Baixas vineyards are also analyzed.

INTER-WINARWAL is a project R+D run by a group of companies, whose main aim is the elaboration of a singular and quality aromatized wine (vermouth), coming from base wines made with regional traditional vines, and with Galician aromatic herbs, in order to obtain a 100% Galician product that satisfies the current demand of this kind of wine product.
