This Pinea wine comes from the Cardisanto (Ribera del duero Spain) parcel, known for its expressive terroir. The vineyards are located at a high altitude of 931-942 meters. The 25-year-old vines grow in loamy clay soil, which helps improve the wine’s structure and acidity.

The 2017 vintage faced challenging weather, including the worst April frost in 25 years. However, the cooler autumn allowed slow ripening, leading to a small but high-quality crop.

The grapes were carefully selected between September 28 and October 9. They were then fully processed in 500-liter French oak barrels and aged for 18 months. This process created a wine with rich flavors and depth.
