Vicente Pliego and Hugo Del Pozzo, two childhood friends, turned their passion for wine culture into their life, with the firm intention of making a definitive wine. A wine called to be on a par with the greatest in the world and capable of reflecting thethe most authentic and elegant expression of Ribera del Duero. The vineyards grow in the northern part of Ribera del Duero. Located at an average altitude of 900 metres above sea level, our vines represent the perfect confluence of elements: unique soil, a demanding environment and an adverse climate. The vineyards are biodynamic, and sustainable viticulture practices are applied to mature vineyards (30 to 90+ years) planted in slightly varying soil types, with chalky sand and abundant limestone. Deeply structured rooting systems allow for vines to thrive under extreme temperatures without artificial irrigation. The result? A 100-percent Tempranillo wine aged in French and American oak that is said to rival the legendary Vega Sicilia.
750 mlThis deep-violet Tempranillo has a nose of blackberry pie with a touch of nutmeg. It is simultaneously spicy and fresh, with brilliant acidity and mint tea, star anise, cherry and raspberry flavours wrapped in a sheath of opulent tannins
