Dominio del Águila Pícaro del Águila 2022

Jorge Monzón, the vingeron of the Dominio del Águila project, offers a modern vision to this relatively young but well-established wine region: Ribera del Duero.

The main variety grown at La Aguilera, where the winery is located, is Tempranillo. As the vineyards are very old, the wines are not 100% single-varietal, as in the past a small percentage of different grape varieties were planted, as is the case of this wine, which has some Garnacha, Bobal, or Tempranillo Gris in its composition. White varieties bring a greater freshness to red wines, which is why they are historically used in many renowned regions.

Traditional winemaking, with long whole bunch fermentations and long fining in French oak barrels, gives this red wine a classic style, but with a modern touch, as the raw material always predominates over the secondary (barrel ageing) notes.
