Surrounded by old vines, as if he were part of that environment, Alfredo listens in silence to the language of the vines and the soil in which they grow. A perfect symbiosis between man and nature. A metaphysical dialogue between the winegrower and the vine.
Most of the vineyards are within the D.O. Ribera del Duero. Also in bordering areas influenced by tributaries of the Duero, like Duratón, Botijas y Esgueva rivers.
Alfredo works exclusively in the villages of Navarredondilla and San Juan de Molinillo, in the province of Avila. They are all old vineyards at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level.
Several very specific plots within the municipality of Cigales are being worked. A Parcel wine (Sobrecasa) and a single varietal Garnacha Gris (La Badi) are produced.
