Pico Cuadro 4 Items

The Pico Cuadro story began in 2004 with Felipe Martin Castrillo, the winemaker and director of the bodega. Felipe Martín Castrillo, the owner, winemaker and director inherited 14 plots of vineyards from his father and having studied oenology and developed his knowledge and experience in Bordeaux, decided to team up with of Alfonso Muñoz de la Hera, a passionate businessman with great wine expertise.

Despite the vines ranging from 20 to 100 years in age, Pico Cuadro could be considered a “new” winery as it produces a unique style of Tempranillo, Ribera de Duero wine. These pre-philloxera vines were planted in impoverished soil on slopes of moorland, gravel, and clay land where silt was deposited during the quaternary glaciations formed by the river. This soil composition gives the wine mouthful acidity which balances the strength of the alcohol with the pure fruit aromas.
