Comando G

Comando G founders Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia met studying oenology in Madrid. Bonding over their mutual love of wine, the two found themselves working in similar areas of Spain’s Sierra De Gredos mountain range; Danny at his family vineyard, Bodegas Jimenez-Landi and Fernando at Bodega Marañones.

Dani and Fernando are some of the first producers we started importing wine from in the early days of Cosecha back in 2016. They farm biodynamically on vines from 50-80 years old, hand-harvesting their grapes grown with minimal intervention 

Windswept landscapes, alpine meadows, tumbled boulders and thick scrub brush create a delicate microclimate that form the foundation of Comando G’s world-class wines.

They were drawn to nearly abandoned Sierra de Gredos terroir – high altitudes, freely draining soils, as well as a mild and relatively humid climate. Though not an easy terroir for winemaking, Daniel and Fernando wanted to explore the mountainous terrain, determined to refine the area’s traditionally “workhorse” Grenache grape into their own unique product.

They gained access to Gredos’ older vineyards by spending time gaining the trust of older grape growers in the area, usually by drinking beer with them in local bars. Some of these growers were in their 80’s or 90’s, hoping to continue their legacy but without anyone to pass their vines on to.

Dani and Fernando love Toronto. During one fateful visit, they enjoyed beers at Burdock Brewery, wine at Pearl Morissette and belted out Karaoke at the Gladstone Hotel. Dani is an avid rock and roller, with fans including wine critics Luis Gutiérrez of Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
