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 Some of them are unique and unpublished, without having documented in any other survey.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.

last saturday, 23 d'abril, the Catalan goat conservation corral received the visit of the first group of participants in the animal sponsorship campaign. After the relevant presentations, the Work Plan of the project for the coming months was discussed and, next, the attendees could choose the animal and name it.

With this action, godparents support a project that still needs to cover almost half of its budget. With the counterpart, they will be able to visit the farm and participate in the future grazing days for the Montsec, as well as tasting the first milks and cheeses.

Right Now, they are already 15 the sponsored animals and there are still fifteen more to go. avineu-vos!
