WELCOME, I AM

CARLOS MORO

Winegrower and winery owner. 'We have to live enjoying what we do'

MY ROOTS

I am the son, grandson and great-grandson of winegrowers and winery owners. My personal and professional career is full of events worth highlighting. Born in Valladolid in 1953, I grew up surrounded by vineyards and feeling a strong attachment to the land. In Madrid, I studied Agronomy, Business Economics, and SME Economics, and completed a Master's degree in Information and Communication Technology and Doctorate courses in Oenology and Viticulture.
