Santamaria is one of the most historic and traditional vineyards in Empordà. It is where the region's first 'crianza' wine was created: Gran Recosind, aged in American oak barrels. While the current structure of the company dates from 1955, the original cellar was founded in the 16th century. In 1877, Gregori Artizà earned the diploma at the National Winery Exposition - Medal of Perfection. Currently, the production of Santamaria is focused on crianza wines bottled with the label of Grand Recosind - quality wines that have an intense red color and a lot of aroma.
