We invite you to the presentation of the results of research on traditional varieties of vines that have developed over the last four years within the project Cultures Found, promoted by Slow Food Terres de Lleida.

Throughout this time, We lined the vineyards old Noguera, part of Urgell and Pallars Jussà to know the grapes themselves and keep them.

Thanks to dialogues with farmers and veterans of various advisory councils, We have seventy different varieties, between the table and wine.

Much of these varieties are currently unknown although they had in implementing our region. Some of them are unique and unpublished, without having documented in any other survey. Others are shared with other areas, but research has helped document their historical presence. all, together, are an essential part of our culture and identify us as a territory.

Aware that the maintenance of these varieties and exploring its possibilities requires maximum participation possible, We would like to share with you the information we have collected so far. With this objective, you are invited to the event.
