La Coma d’en Romeu de Cal Fusteret is a estate located in the area of Coma d’en Romeu, next to Terracuques. It is located at 450 meters above sea level, is 100% Carignan, and has slate soil.
Pepe Olmedo is the one who works it. The estate belonged to his late father-in-law, Josep Fusteret. When we ask him when the vineyard was planted, he says he doesn’t know. “It was planted a long time ago, I don’t know exactly, I think around 1910. But neither my father-in-law nor his father planted it. This was already here before.”
He tells us that the estate has a history. “This estate has always been in the family. My father-in-law’s mother and brother were orphans from a very young age, so the past history of the estate is somewhat lost. They were left without a home or anything, only with this inherited vineyard, which has always remained in the family.” Josep’s mother got married at Cal Fusteret.

La Coma faces east. “It’s a very good orientation. At least that’s what I’ve been taught: grapes don’t get as many diseases as they do in the westerly wind. The sun has a hard time getting in here, but then it’s here until the last hour.”
