The current generations of the Cuciné family are Joan and Joesp (the third generation) support their sons Joan and Maria Àngels with their wives Maria Elena and Marta, both of whom are educated Oenologists are, to the best of their ability, continuing and preserving the legacy of their ancestors.

Joan Cusiné Hill was born in 1917 in a small town in Penedés. As the son of a family of winemakers, he dedicated his life to cultivating the vine. He started working at the age of 7 and it can be said that he never retired, at the age of 80 he was still helping to supervise the viticultural works carried out on the farms.

With the unconditional help of his wife, Rosa Cusiné, they worked hand in hand to leave the best to their grandchildren. From the very beginning, these were not only organic vineyards, but also unshakable family values: love for nature, honesty, effort and courage, which are still valid today.
