Monóvar
On the wine routeWinemaking history
Monóvar is a municipality with a rich winemaking tradition that dates back centuries and is part of the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Alicante. The Monastrell grape variety is emblematic of the region, known for its adaptability to the climate and soil conditions.
In Monóvar, Fondillón wine, a generous and long-aged wine, has become a historical reference, appreciated both nationally and internationally. This winemaking tradition has shaped the culture and the local economy over time, establishing a strong bond between the inhabitants and their vineyard crops.
Local wineries, such as Serra del Reclot, Celler de Mostra, and Bodega Santa Catalina del Mañan, among others, not only produce quality wine but also play a crucial role in keeping the viticultural traditions of the area alive. Winemakers have worked diligently to preserve ancestral methods and promote the use of native varieties, thereby contributing to the diversity of the wine landscape not only in Monóvar but throughout the province of Alicante.
