Armando Guerra

Bodegas Barbadillo, an historic winery in Sanlúcar de Barrameda since 1821, best known for their classic Solear manzanilla sherries, presides over some of the most storied bodegas and soleras in the sherry region.

In 2015, Barbadillo hired Armando Guerra, a leader in the promotion of sherry wine culture, to head a premium production and innovation division for the winery.
