Carbó-Santacana Family
The family formed by Jaume Carbó, Mª Teresa Santacana and her son Manel has been cultivating carefully the vineyards of Can Lleó for decades. We selected the Vinya del Meix, from old macabeo vines planted in goblets, to make a monovarietal wine from a single vineyard.

They want each one of the wines from Can Lleó de Vilanoveta to convey the character of the locality and the people involved.
