The use of this alphabet in the labelling allows visually impaired people to read the information about the product. The words shown in this written system include the name of the winery and the wine, and its vintage, as well as the grape variety and its Designation of Origin Rueda. This addition falls within the Green & Social philosophy of the cooperative, a hallmark that supports the commitment to the respect of rural areas and the people living in them.
