Raquis
“Raquis” es la palabra griega que designa la columna vertebral. Pero también nos habla de sostén y estructura, el escobajo que constituye la conexión vital entre la uva y la planta. Y, al mismo tiempo, de una imagen pura del propósito del proyecto: el nombre Raquis remite a la naturaleza, y a los valores de austeridad, honestidad y desnuda belleza. Son bases propias de un lujo contemporáneo que pondera el detalle preciso, el equilibrio entre lo escaso y lo generoso.
El corazón de Raquis está formado por tres profesionales del vino con una larga trayectoria que mezcla en partes iguales inquietud y excelencia
