Cèsar Martinell i Brunet
Description
Winery designed by Cèsar Martinell on behalf of the Agricultural Union of Cornudella. It is a completely rational and innovative winery, of great spectacularity and architectural beauty and at the same time an enormous functionality.
The building consists of a central nave crowned with a gabled roof built with wooden beams and covered with traditional Arabic tiles. The warehouse can be divided into two large floors where the two levels of vats are located.
The uniqueness of the building lies in the vats in the upper room, which are pseudo-rectangular in shape instead of circular, as was customary.
On the lower floor, the vats are cylindrical and are located in the centre of the nave. It is accessed through side corridors covered with parabolic or Gaudí arches that start from the ground. These arches and the Catalan vault that separates them are the ones that support the weight of the upper vats.
The construction of the winery lasted three years, during which time many farmers, when they finished the work on their farms, contributed to the construction of the winery.
The Cooperative Winery of Cornudella de Montsant has been dedicated from its beginnings to the present day to the production and sale of the two main products of the area: wine and oil. After the changes and stages it has experienced throughout its history, the winery is proud to have maintained the legacy inherited from past generations and to have been able to adapt to the new times.
