Amor per la Terra

Spain, Catalunya

The Story

“Amor per la Terra” meaning “love for the land” in Catalan is a project run by Jaume Jordà, Salvador Batlle (Cosmic) and Xavi Rutia. It’s a collaborative partnership between friends, with a cyclical goal of supporting farmers doing things in the “old way” and thereby, protecting the land.

These bottles are all about storytelling.

The People

Xavi, Salvador & Jaume

Drawing upon his extensive connections and profound understanding of the Catalonian terrain, Xavi Rutia (Monocrom, Barcelona) initiated the "Amor per la Terra" project with a primary goal of showcasing the efforts of tradition-lead local grape farmers.

This is a collaborative project with his friend Jaume Jordà, (who specialises in importing natural and biodynamic wines), as well as another friend and acclaimed winemaker Salvador Batlle of Cosmic Vinyaters who handles the winemaking aspect.

It's a labor of love; a project created by friends, for friends.
