About Albet i Noya La Milana

Although not widely known, one of the most fascinating and vibrant birds in our ecosystems is the bee-eater. This bird, with its dazzling plumage in shades of green, blue, and yellow, not only beautifies the landscape but also plays a crucial role in the health of our environment. With its diet based on bees and other flying insects, it helps maintain the balance in nature. Its feeding habits control insect populations and promote biodiversity, and its presence indicates that the habitat is in good condition with an abundant population of insects, essential for pollination. Moreover, being highly sensitive to changes in its environment, such as pollution or habitat loss, its presence or absence can provide clues about environmental health. Albet y Noya, the first organic winery in the Spanish state, uses its image to represent one of its most iconic wines; Albet i Noya La Milana. Although its name might initially seem to refer to another bird (La Milana), when we discover the label, we can clearly observe the colourful and beautiful bee-eater as a testament to their commitment to ecology and sustainability. In reality, the name of the wine refers to one of the women who cultivated the property, the wife of Mr Milà (La Milana).

Originating from the Can Milà de la Roca estate, Albet i Noya La Milana is a red wine made from merlot and garnacha tinta varieties, unmistakably bearing the mark of Montañas d’Ordal, in the Penedès (Catalonia). A 100% Mediterranean landscape with forests, dry stone walls, and moderate slopes, it has been cultivated following strict organic farming criteria and harvested by hand at the optimal moment of ripeness. In the winery, the grapes are selected berry by berry, destemmed, and gently crushed to initiate maceration and fermentation in cold conditions for 8 days with native yeasts. Afterwards, the wine undergoes 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels and rests for at least one year in the bottle.

Thus, Albet i Noya La Milana is a double tribute: to the beauty of the bee-eater, a symbol of ecological balance and environmental health, and to La Milana, the wife of Mr Milà, who cultivated the estate with passion and dedication. A unique sensory experience, celebrating the perfect fusion between winemaking tradition and respect for the natural environment.
