Pícaro del Águila 2022, a red wine with Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin, is born from the mastery of Dominio del Águila, located in La Aguilera, Burgos. Founded in 2010 by Jorge Monzón and Isabel Rodero, this winery has its roots in the experience of Jorge, who began his oenology studies in Bordeaux and then built his career at renowned wineries such as Romanée-Conti and Vega Sicilia. With 35 hectares of vineyards, which include 30 hectares of old vines and 5 relatively young hectares, they mainly cultivate the Tempranillo variety, accompanied by other native varieties such as Bobal, Garnacha and Albillo, in sandy-calcareous soils at 900 meters of altitude.
From viticulture to winemaking, at Dominio del Águila they passionately dedicate themselves to an artisanal process, demonstrating a deep respect for nature and fusing tradition and knowledge. From the application of herbal infusions such as valerian and honeyfoil in the care of the vines to the decision not to clarify or filter the wine, they strive to create organic wines capable of aging for a long time, but also suitable to enjoy on any occasion.
This wine is fermented in concrete tanks, following traditional methods that highlight its authenticity. The grapes are traditionally crushed in the winepress, keeping the bunches whole, without destemming, to preserve all their essence. The malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, taking place slowly in oak vats, which adds depth and complexity to the final profile of the wine. Pícaro del Águila then spends around 12 months in French oak vats.
