WHO CAN CONTRACT
Determined district of lands or estates, especially of vineyards or olive groves.
Founded in the village of Pedrosa de Duero in 1996, this family winery is the first wine project of the Rodero Villa family and was recently chosen as one of the 100 best wineries in the world by Wine & Spirits magazine.
We are in an area of the Ribera del Duero is especially privileged for its climate and its soils. A recent analysis by Ferran Centelles for Jancis Robinson says so, based on tasting notes to locate the best vineyard areas of the appeal.
The great temperature contrast of more than 20 degrees between day and night favors the maturation of the bunches, enhances its alcoholic strength, color and tannins, as well as helping to maintain a very balanced acidity.
Our soils are composed mainly of clay, gravel and sand, providing the vineyard with natural drainage and natural reserves of hydration and temperature, which will give rise to velvety wines with a marked structure and minerality.
Our red wines are made with the native tempranillo variety, characterized by its thick skin, which protects it from the extreme conditions of the area and gives rise to intense wines in terms of color, structure and tannic charge.
