ALVAR DE DIOS ACIANO TEMPRANILLO 750ML

Álvar’s first vineyard was inherited from his family in the village of El Pego in 2008. This site, called Aciano in honor of his grandfather, totals three hectares of mainly Tempranillo at an elevation of 710m and is planted on a unique terroir for the DO: sand. This sandy soil is resistant to phylloxera, which is why these ungrafted/own-rooted vines, planted in 1919, have survived to this day. Since taking over this site, Álvar has farmed it organically, waiting until 2011 to make his first vintage. (Holiday Tax Exempt)
