Padró i Familia

Ipsis Rosat Llàgrima is a delicate pale pink rosé with a refreshingly fruity and aromatic character and made from a meticulous blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. Each variety is fermented separately. A short intense maceration with a controlled fermentation at 17ºC gives this wine enormous aromatic and fruity potential. Raspberry aromas with notes of forest fruits. Intense in the mouth with a balance of the sweet and bitter notes typical of these varieties. Harmony of colour, aromas and taste. Ipsis Rosat Llàgrima is made at the Padró family winery just south of Barcelona. What is interesting about the Padró family is that over five generations they have distilled spirits, made wines (including mistelas and other fortified wines) and become masters of vermouth. On the wine side, the family now specialises in making light, fruity Mediterranean-style wines under different brands, each one representing something of who the family are. The family vineyards are located within the Tarragona Denominación de Orígen, the oldest D.O. in Catalonia, established originally to protect the delicate liqueur wines for which the region was famous – the Tarragona Clásicos. The Padró family believes very much in holding on to your traditions, doing what you know how to do and being proud of who you are and this belief is reflected in the name of their flagship brand Ipsis - made from selected grapes from their own carefully tendered vines -  ipse, self in Latin or ipsis in the ablative: to thine own self (be true).
