Open Innovation Manager at FAMILIA TORRES
VILAFRANCA DEL PENEDÈS, Spain
Rooted in the winemaking tradition of the Penedès since the sixteenth century, the Torres family founded their winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, more than 150 years ago. Each generation has transmitted the passion for wine culture from respect for the land and tradition and a commitment to innovation. Today, the fifth generation focuses on the production of wines from unique vineyards and historic estates, the recovery of ancestral varieties and regenerative viticulture to adapt to climate change. The fight against the climate emergency has been one of its lines of action since 2008, through adaptation and mitigation actions to reduce CO2 emissions. Historically present in the Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat and Costers del Segre, Familia Torres also has vineyards and wineries in the main Spanish wine-growing areas – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Rías Baixas – as well as in Chile and California. Familia Torres is member of the Primum Familiae Vini (PFV), an association that integrates 12 of the most prestigious centenarian winemaking families in Europe, and co-founder of International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), which promotes the decarbonisation of the sector globally, and of the Association of Regenerative Viticulture, which promotes a paradigm shift in vineyards to promote biodiversity and curb climate change.
