The winery
Winery
Valsangiacomo is a fifth-generation family winery based in Valencia. Its origins date back to 1831, when Vittore Valsangiacomo founded in Switzerland what would become the first winery of the family saga. At the end of the 19th century, his son Cherubino Valsangiacomo started a wine export business in Valencia and Alicante, attracted by the logistical and winemaking potential of the area. Gradually, the business expanded with new facilities in Chiva, Requena, Utiel, Monóvar, Yecla, and the Grao de Valencia.
Today, Valsangiacomo produces and markets wine under the designations of origin Utiel-Requena, Valencia, and Cava, while also being one of the most renowned vermouth producers in our country. Their most cherished project revolves around the native red variety bobal, of which they own 10 hectares of century-old vineyards cultivated following the principles of sustainable viticulture. In the winery, these grapes are vinified in raw concrete tanks, resulting in wines of great varietal purity and a distinctive Mediterranean character.
