The Wine Advocate Robert Parker has awarded the Pruno as "The World's Best Value" on several occasions. The new vintage keeps his great price-quality-ratio which has turned this wine to one of the most sought-after reds on an international level.
Based on 90% of Tinta Fina and 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the secrets of Pruno emerges precisely in the 64 hectares owned by Finca Villacreces in the "Golden Mile" of the Ribera del Duero. There, the vineyards are surrounded by a unique environment of ancient pine trees. That's the only way to create a wine that conquers the consumers' hearts vintage after vintage. For this edition, Villacreces has elaborated 524.330 bottles that go like hot cakes every year. Don't miss out on your bottle!
