Wines with soul Urpina, located in the municipality of Sant Salvador de Guardiola, is where the wines that bear its name are born. Thanks to the generosity of a family who donated the property and the efforts of many hands that take care of the vineyards throughout the year, Urpina wines are the solidary wines with a commitment to the Pla de Bages Designation of Origin. An explosion of colors, aromas, and flavors that we invite you to discover.
Urpina is an agro-social project that we started in 2008 in Sant Salvador de Guardiola (Bages). The recovery of old vineyards and the planting of new hectares was one of the first tasks that we developed. From its vines, which have given us job opportunities and social recognition, we make our wines, the wines with a commitment to the Pla de Bages DO.
Urpina wines are born to create job opportunities and social recognition for people with intellectual disabilities and support needs. The oldest vineyard on the property is located next to the home we built for people with intellectual disabilities.
The Vila Isern family is defined by their generosity. On the day that Joan Vila turned 80, he and his wife Dolors Isern donated their home (the Urpina property) to AMPANS with the commitment that we would take care of their two children and the land and offer new opportunities to other people with intellectual disabilities.
On the Urpina property, we develop an agro-social project that includes a home for people with disabilities, large vineyards, a goat farm, and a cheese factory.
The grapes from which Urpina wines are born are cared for and collected by people with intellectual disabilities or at risk of exclusion who are part of our foundation.
The Urpina project is also environmental: we work to recover autochthonous and endangered vineyards. A project that we also carry out at Torre Lluvià with the collaboration of the Manresa City Council and the Pla de Bages DO.
Social support has been key to the progress of AMPANS mission. Both in the achievement of projects that improve the life quality of people with intellectual disabilities and in need of support, and in raising awareness in society. We need you by our side to keep pursuing their full inclusion.
