The dream of winemaker Ester Nin is that "Priorat be the first biodynamic designation of origin in the world," she stated to the audience attending the winery's tasting organized by Blai Rosés within the programming of the Terrer Festival at the Escaladei monastery. Nin maintains that he would have also wanted Priorat to be the first organic farm in the world, a fact that the DO Penedès has achieved"And I'm also happy for the Penedès, because I make wines in both appellations; in the Penedès, because that's where my family is from, and in Priorat, where I settled in 2001," says Nin, who believes that wine, in general around the world, is not experiencing its best moments.

Borja Franco (Barcelona, ​​1988) completed his journalism degree in 2010, and since then, he'd been making documentaries on social issues, which was his specialty. He didn't do it all the time—everyone knows the profession is unregulated—and combined it with work for foundations dedicated to the integration of migrant minors. And he did all this while harboring the dream of one day going to live in Priorat, because he'd dreamed of doing so ever since he met Franco. He'd have a home, a job, and a family. Today, he explains with a smile, he's already achieved it.

I arrive in Porrera on a Friday afternoon with a cloudy sky that adds even more beauty to the population of houses nestled on both sides of the Cortiella river. I go up the road towards Cornudella del Montsant, to take a detour that indicates the name of the Marco Abella winery on a sign. From the very doors of the winery, the Priorat unfolds in its essence: terraced vineyards between heaven and earth. A landscape so beloved and so wild at the same time, qualities that are not separated but united. I interview Olivia Bayés (Vic, 1972) in the winery, in front of a window from which you can see the vineyards they cultivate. Next to the window there is a large painting by the deceased painter Josep Guinovart, a friend of David Marco's family, Olivia's partner. The Marco Abella winery (named after David's grandfather) celebrates this year twenty years of making wines in the Priorat qualified designation of origin.
