About us
Alejandro and Letizia, both Civil Engineers by profession, have developed their professional projects in Spain after a long and outstanding career in the business field. They began their activities in the wine industry with Bodega Pago de Cirsus. In the same year, 2014, they complemented their activity with Bodegas Zifar, located in Penafiel, Ribera del Duero, which became the second project undertaken by the Gomez-Mangione family in this business area. In 2018, they acquired Bodegas Irache with the aim of recovering and maintaining one of the oldest and most emblematic wineries in Navarra. In 2021, they incorporated Hacienda Queiles into their projects, focusing on the direct production of top-quality EVOO's.
One of Pago de Cirsus’ greatest assets is its team. Each and every one of them, through their different backgrounds, gives it their all to guarantee the quality of all the brand's products.
