Santos Ortiz of Spanish origin, and Ioana Paunescu from Romania, started from scratch in 2011. Far from what is considered the norm in this sector, Ego Bodegas is not the culmination of a rich tradition inherited by its owners. Nor was it the result of a burning desire to develop the marvelous Vineyards or a mission to learn about the amazing world of wine.
Instead, it was born out of its partners' passion and effort, what people call Talent"- the name of their first wine -who are united and committed, personally and professionally 'The founders of Ego Bodegas have been bound to the wine world for more than a decade. 'They are fascinated by the land with the magical combination of its soil and native grape variety, Monastrell. Each bottle of wine from Ego Bodegas carries the principles on which the winery was founded upon: Ego, Talento, and Infinito.
Ego :The concept of I
Talento: The ability to perform and carry out a task
Infinito : The power to dream without borders
