In 2013, Bodegas Alto Moncayo launched a strategic plan to continue planting and growing its vineyards. For this purpose, farms located in the remaining best areas have been acquired and for this expansion a rigorous selection of the best native Garnacha vines has been carried out. This new project is called “Locos By Alto Moncayo” under which expand the range of high-quality, uniquely different products, with a modern and casual style, produced from the winery’s youngest vineyards.
