Under this name we find the union of a number of wineries in Aragon whose concern is to return to the roots, producing and recovering endangered native Spanish grape varieties, such as Grenache, Cojón de Gato (Cat's testicle), Parraleta, Vidalillo or Moristel. Bal D'Isábena's winery... is located in Lagüarres (Huesca), producing easy-drinking wines to satisfy every consumer who wishes to experiment and innovate, while it breaks with the seriousness of the wine world through a series of bottles with a casual format and a funny name: Cojón de Gato (Cat's testicle), Teta de Vaca (Cow's Udder), Ojo de Liebre (Hare's Eye) or Maria de la O.
Alcohol abuse can be dangerous.
