ABOUT THIS WINE
Pruno is a red wine produced by Finca Villacreces in the renowned D.O. Ribera del Duero region of Spain. The estate is situated in a prime location known as the 'Golden Mile,' adjacent to iconic wineries. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate influenced by a surrounding 200-year-old pine forest and the Duero River. The 2022 vintage was shaped by a hot and dry summer, contributing to concentrated fruit characteristics. Pruno was initially conceived as a more accessible wine, designed for earlier enjoyment compared to the estate's flagship bottlings, and has since garnered significant acclaim.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Pruno is produced using a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, with Tempranillo forming the dominant component. The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks, employing a double 'pissage' technique to enhance concentration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in a mix of stainless steel, oak vats, and barrels. The wine then undergoes an aging period of 10-12 months in used French and American oak barrels. The estate practices integrated and certified organic viticulture, focusing on sustainable methods.
