Ana Gadín and Javier Mendoza set up Atrium Vitis back in 2012 right in Quiroga (one of the breathtaking bits of Ribeira Sacra). They own 12 plots (a total of 6ha), dedicated mainly to indigenous Galician grape varieties, which they vinify separately, plot by plot, thus preserving the essence of each vineyard. Ana and Javier have also discovered abandoned vines, hidden deep within the local overgrown forest. They are currently clearing part of this area by hand, to recover these old vines and to identify the grape varieties.
 
This is a Godello sourced from a 90 years old single vineyard called A Toca which lies in an old iron mine exploited by the Romans. Bucce means "skins" in Italian. It's reminiscent of wines made in contact with the skins, however only the gross lees are used. The wine aged in French oak for at least five months. This is a complex and delicate process, in which the wine is finally blended with fine and gross lees from the same plot.
 
Only 1400 bottles are crafted yearly. All of them are hand painted by Ana.
