There are many meanings related to the world of wine, there are many definitions that accompany this drink of the gods.
One of these meanings is the word Pago. What is a Pago? It is a vineyard, winery, exceptional climate or terrain, which gives the wines a unique and particular character. A delimited plot, with special characteristics, where a certain variety of grape manages to develop in the most favorable way, adapting to the environment. In addition, in these plots, which are normally small in size, the plants all have the same orientation. With all these factors, the grapes all ripen in a homogeneous way.
A Pago is characterized because within its limits, it contains all the strains that give rise to wine in its different varieties, being cultivated with very specific methods. The result is a wine grown and produced only from own productions, which is distinguished by its originality, quality and origin.
Nowadays, in the world of oenology, the concepts of identity and distinction of a wine are fundamental, which forces us to take into account the importance of the concept of Pago, which in all the major wine-producing countries has its distinctive name.
