Perfect with a Mallorcan frito, roast pig or plate of cured meats.\n\nCa'n Verdura is a micro-winery founded by Mallorcan native Tomeu Llabres in a former auto garage in 2012 in the Binissalem denomination, located in the north-central portion of Mallorca. Tomeu has focused his energy and attention on the ancient indigenous varietal Mantonegro, producing stunning wines. After receiving his degree in oenology in Tarragona, Tomeu gained experience with Alvaro Palacios in Priorat before returning to Mallorca where he worked at three of the larger estates on the island. Tomeu sources grapes from old-vine vineyards trained in the traditional en vaso (goblet) system in cal vermell, red clay soil with limestone, and small to medium-sized galets.
