In 2004, the Tianna Negre bodega project was started. Xisca Morey, architect and manager, says that “wine is like an architectural project”. “It is the objective attained from the premise that gives you the field, the vineyard, the climate and from that which you want to undertake ... For the whole year, you work with the fruit of the harvest, and that wine is the work that is realised.”
There are some fifty hectares of organic vineyards on red soil in Binissalem and Consell.
These mostly have local varieties: Manto Negro, Callet, Gorgollasa, Escursaç for reds, and Prensal blanc, Giró Ros and Moscatell de Frontignac for whites. The 2020 harvest produced around 350,000 kilos of grapes.
The architecture of Celler Tianna Negre is an elegant example of architectural design, functionality and respect for the environment. It is a spectacular building, surrounded by vineyards fully integrated into the environment and with optimal conditions for energy use, work and productivity.

Innovation and development are keywords at Tianna Negre.
The philosophy of the bodega is to be found in the vineyards all year round. The harvest is manual and for the production there is a combination of classical processes and the highest-level winemaking technology.
Made using long-ago traditional methods, absinthe stands out and gives the bitterness of old vermouths.
