Those vineyards have been there since Roman times!

“Monterrei is an up-and-coming wine-growing area in the mountains of Galicia, en route to Benevente and Madrid.

“I read this morning that most of its vines were destroyed by a sudden frost this week. Which is, of course, a lot worse than catching a cold.”

(From the blog “Thoughts from Galicia,” 28 Apr 17)

“It is believed that it was the ancient Romans who first introduced grape growing and wine making in this region, according to Wikipedia. “The wines from Monterrei were renowned during the Middle Ages.”
