Huesca

The province of Huesca, together with Teruel and Zaragoza, make up the autonomy of Aragón. Situated in the northeast of Spain, it is a mountainous area bordered by the French Pyrenees. It consists of 202 towns and 6 judicial districts.

HISTORY OF WINE

Although Aragon’s viticulture goes back to 500 B.C, it would be during the Middle Ages where it would experience a boost. The Cisterians and the Monastery of Santa María de Veruela are two key names which extended vine plantations over different areas of Huesca. The most important cultivation area is Somontano, a rural area which sits in the region with the same name, with Barbastro in the centre.

In the 19th century, they phylloxera plague in French vineyards provoked an increase in production in Huesca. Somontano gained recognition thanks to the constant work and good quality of its wines. Specifically, in the 60’s, the regional cooperative was born and took its first steps towards the Designation of Origin, which was approved in 1984. From this moment, investment in wineries grew.
