Adolfo Cano
PresidentHello everybody!
My name is Adolfo Cano and I have been president of Denominación de Origen Almansa for more than 4 years.
Something of which I feel very proud, because the fact of being able to represent the wines of my region around the world is a great challenge for me, both professionally and personally.
Our wines are in fashion in Spain and beyond our borders, and I’m not just saying that because I’m the president of DO Almansa. This is justified by the almost 7 million bottles that left our wineries this past 2020 to more than 20 countries around the world.
In the DO Almansa we are fortunate to have a unique grape variety: the “garnacha tintorera”, which together with our fantastic climate and altitude makes our wines unique in the world.
This intense cherry red grape fills our fields with life and creates wealth in our 7 municipalities, generating work for the 760 winegrowers who live directly from it.
Our region is not only bathed in vineyards, but also in a great cultural, scenic and gastronomic heritage that we will make known through the recently created wine route.
And I am sure that with the work and effort of all the wineries, town councils, hoteliers and professionals in the tourism sector we will bring forward the new Almansa Wine Route, which will bring success and recognition for our entire region.
For all these reasons I encourage all of you to promote the wines of our DO Almansa all over the world.
Adolfo Cano
