Description
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The 2019 Pruno has some unusual aromas reminiscent of pine needles, balsamic and faintly herbal with moderate alcohol (they harvested early in this warm year) and with very good balance and harmony. The aromas and flavors are pure and defined, and it’s tasty, easy to drink and has very fine tannins. Among the finest Pruno of recent times. 617,338 bottles, 13,059 magnums and 100 double magnums produced. It was bottled in October 2020.” 92 Points

Tempranillo is the most popular grape variety, locally known as Tinto Fino or Tinta del Pais. Wines from this grape are pigmented, with a firm tannin structure and complex aromas of dark fruit.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Finca Villacreces is one of those wineries that are born in a privileged environment: located on the Milla de Oro (the golden mile) of Ribera del Duero, its vineyards adjoin those of Vega Sicilia and the landscape of pine forests, olive trees and junipers that not only bring a note of aesthetic beauty but also endow its wines with a particular personality.
