Description

In these ordinances, the Town Council of Poboleda (with the approval of the lord of the place, the prior of Escaladei) creates the figure of the wine broker, to avoid misunderstandings between producers, entry of foreign wines and unfair competition. It is a sample of the importance of the vineyard and wine in the region in the middle of the 18th century.
