AGRUPACIO VITICULTORS ARTESANALS

Located in the heart of the Alto Penedés, and faithful to its family tradition, the Maset del Lleó winery does not stop renewing itself and inventing itself. Throughout more than two centuries of history, the Massana family continues to lead the increasingly competitive wine world. Maybe the secret is precisely that apparent paradox that results from linking tradition and modernity, because Maset del Lleó looks proudly at its history, but not to resign itself to living from it, but to base its permanent commitment to quality and the avant-garde. Maset del Lleó is a good example of how quality can compete with the most powerful labels on the national scene. It is a small family winery that for more than two centuries has been producing wines, cavas and beers in an artisanal way. Today, that elaboration continues being done in a natural way, without preservatives or aggressive filtering. Its artisanal process manages to maintain the quality of its products by following a traditional concept that is not at odds with the help of the most innovative technologies and adapting to the tastes and quality demands of each moment. In this way, their wines, cavas and craft beers have managed to acquire something very difficult in the world of wine: a personality of their own that leaves no one indifferent. And they have done it without haste but without pause. In Maset del Lleó they know that the making of a good wine requires a slow and deliberate process - like that of a lifetime - so that its wines reach the optimum degree of maturity that is a sign of prestige in the brand. Thus, the winery has been harvested throughout its history countless awards and recognitions for its excellent quality and good work. From the cellar to the house An important differentiating fact is that Maset del Lleó sells directly from the winery to the customer's address. Due to its limited production, the sale is made through the customer service phone (902 200 500) or online (www.maset.com), that is, from the dig home. At present Maset del Lleó is a national leader in sales by phone and home delivery thanks to its excellent products and reliability with its customers who spoil as if it were their family, with an impeccable service, with a wide variety of offers and always attentive to the demands of the client. And without intermediaries. Wine with history Nothing less than since 1777 the Massana family has joined the world of wine. Generation after generation, they have managed to become a benchmark in the production of great wines, maintaining the legacy of their ancestors in a notorious way and improving their quality in perfect harmony between tradition and modernity. The history goes back to the end of the 18th century, when in the heart of the Alto Penedés the land was the fief of the abbey of Montserrat: the Massana family, now the owner, had to pay taxes to work them. From 1917, after long decades of effort and dedication, the Massana family completed their work with the development of the first cavas. Years later, specifically in 1958, Antoni Massana turned around the way he sold the wine and the products he produced on his property. The economic difficulties pushed grandfather Massana to travel to Barcelona to sell directly to the final customer, thus eliminating intermediaries and working on a new concept: closeness and complicity between the winemaker and the consumer. In this way, Antoni Massana changed the dynamics that until now predominated in the distribution of wine, and with this new philosophy it improved both the quality and the reduction in costs, in addition to enhancing the humane treatment with the client, making him participate in it. the successes of his family. With this brand of trust and confidence in the brand, that adventure that began in the trips to Barcelona has led today that Maset del Lleó distributes its products throughout the Iberian Peninsula and beyond our borders. Today, the offer of Maset del Lleó is really broad and does not only focus on its geographical area, but has extended its processing parameters to other D.O. as Priorato (Mas Viló, Clos Viló and Gran Clos Viló), Ribera del Duero (Castle of Urtrau), Rioja (Valcortes) or Rias Baixas (Albariño). The winery also diversifies its products with different ones (Cabertet, Merlot, Tempranillo or Syrah, for example) And in addition to wines and cavas, we find beer, oils, liqueurs and vinegars. We now make a brief review of some of their products.
