At the end of the 19th century, the town of Cornudella de Montsant, like many others, was affected by the plague of phylloxera. This pest was very harmful to the vines and caused their death. With the arrival of the insect, many farmers and day laborers had to leave the countryside and migrate to the industrial centers of the time, Barcelona and, especially from Cornudella, Sabadell. The depopulation during those years was very pronounced in the town and the region in general.

The people from Cornudel who decided to stay had to face many difficulties and they did it by cooperating with each other. The first decades of the 20th century were years in which associationism and cooperativeism gained strength in the village and throughout the country.

The Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant began to be built in 1919 at the initiative of the Wine Section of Agricultural Union and Caja Rural de Ahorros y Préstamos del Priorato. The members of this union hired the young architect Cèsar Martinell to start the construction of the winery, which ended in 1922.

It was three years of work during which many farmers, when they finished the piece work, contributed to the construction of the cellar. Resources were scarce and everyone had to do their bit. However, with the creation of the winery, the farmers had one more tool to overcome the phylloxera blight. And it is that, by combining harvests and efforts, better profits could be expected.

The Celler Cooperatiu de Cornudella de Montsant has been dedicated from its beginnings to the present day to the production and sale of the two main products of our land, wine and oil. After more than a hundred years of history, there have been many changes that have taken place, but, despite everything, the town can still boast of having maintained the legacy left by past generations and of having been able to adapt to new times
