Àn/2 is a fresh, flavorful, and mineral wine that showcases a Mallorca deeply rooted in its history and landscape, evoking a multitude of aromas and nuances that convey the uniqueness of the Balearic island. A firm commitment by the winery to native varieties and to bringing the authenticity of the terroir to all palates.
The Ànima Negra winery is the story of two friends from Mallorca (Miguel Ángel Cerdá and Peré Obrador) who, in 1994, embarked on the foundation of a personal project with the determination to produce high-quality wines using the island's native grape varieties. To achieve this, they transformed a dairy into the space dedicated to winemaking.
Today, Ànima Negra is a benchmark for authentic, personal, and high-quality wines on the island of Mallorca. Their wines now go beyond the borders of the Balearic island, being exported to more than 40 countries worldwide.
Located in the southeast of the island, the winery produces its wines in the old ‘possessió’ of Son Burguera, near the town of Felanitx. The first production took place in this historic building, and from there, the facilities were improved to craft high-quality wines.
They have a vineyard made up of around 150 micro-plots located around the winery, with the exception of 5 vineyards in the western part of Mallorca. They primarily grow old vines of callet, mantonegro, fogoneu, premsali blanc, and giró ros on various types of soil. Later, the grapes are harvested manually.
Ànima Negra's goal is to create genuine wines with a personality that reflects the land where they are made, without artifice, while recovering the island's grape varieties. As they aptly state, “We must carry out oenology in the field, and the winery should only be a temple for preserving the authenticity of the relationship between the plant, the soil, and the climate.”
