El Fanio

The vineyard

At the highest point of the Can Milà de la Roca estate, nestled among forests and dry stone walls, lies the hidden vineyard of El Fanio. For many years, this secluded corner remained inaccessible—even to tractors—and could only be worked on foot. These bush-trained Xarel·lo vines were lovingly tended by Epifanio Sardà, known as “el Faniu,” a beloved local farmer who left a lasting mark on the land.

Spread across small dry-stone terraces and covering just over two hectares, these vines grow at more than 330 meters above sea level, on poor, stony soils that restrict vigour and concentrate the essence of the grape.

The result is an elegant, deep wine that beautifully expresses the mineral and saline character of the Ordal Mountains.
