Proyecto L.P. is a rescue wine in the truest sense: the initials stand for Listán Prieto, a red grape variety that is virtually extinct on the Iberian Peninsula, surviving today in only a handful of pockets across Castilla-La Mancha, and the very same vine that Spanish conquistadors carried to the Americas, where it lives on as Mission in California and Criolla in Argentina and Chile. Llámalo X cultivates it in the Cantero plot of their Cañada del Predicador estate in Villarrobledo, at 730 metres altitude on clay-loam soils, from 35-year-old vines retrained from traditional bush to trellis, producing a mere 1,200 bottles each vintage.

In the cellar, a 48-hour cold pre-fermentative maceration is followed by gravity pressing, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, and a short maceration with manual cap management, before the wine rests for three months in traditional 420-litre clay tinajas crafted in Villarrobledo itself, a town with a centuries-old pottery heritage, with no oak involved at any stage. The result pours a pale ruby, almost clarete in style, offering a light body, creamy texture, gentle tannins, and a clean, refreshing finish — a wine made to be enjoyed fresh, at a slight chill, from now through 2027.

Learn more about Llámalo X

Llámalo X — "call it X, call it whatever you want" — is the opening statement of José Joaquín Ballesteros Catalán, an oenologist from Villarrobledo (Albacete) with family on both sides of the craft: his father's side are vine growers on the Castilian plateau; his mother's family were tinajeros — the clay vessel makers who made Villarrobledo the world's principal centre for wine amphora production for centuries, and whose vessels today serve producers like Foradori and COS. The project launched in 2021 with an explicit reversal of industry logic: recover what was being lost.

Finca Cañada del Predicador is around 15 hectares at 720–730 metres altitude on clay-limestone, sandy and stony soils, with goblet-trained vines between 30 and 90 years old. The variety roster is the real manifesto: Airén and Pardilla in white; Cencibel (a local Tempranillo clone), Monastrell, Crujidera (Moravia Dulce — a variety whose roots resist phylloxera, meaning the El Jaral vines grow ungrafted on their own roots) and Listán Prieto in red — the variety Spanish colonists carried to the Americas in the 16th century, today surviving on the peninsula in just a handful of vineyards. Each wine comes from a single variety and single parcel, with productions of 1,200 to 1,300 bottles.

Winemaking is minimal intervention throughout: spontaneous fermentation, gravity flow, no oak. The vessels are century-old clay tinajas from Villarrobledo — the same clay Foradori and COS seek out in Italy — inherited through the family. The Caminollano Airén Brisado Tinaja ferments for 60 days on skins; the AnceXtral is an Airén and Bobal ancestral-method clarete; the Proyecto L.P. (Listán Prieto) is the most singular bet in the range. Sobremesa named the Caminollano its wine of the week; the US importer is Polaner Selections, the portfolio that represents Foradori, COS and Radikon.
