With a viticultural history dating back to Roman times, Tierra de León covers a comparatively large area of Castilla y León, with vines grown at altitudes in excess of nine-hundred metres. Alluvial soils, abundant sunshine and a significant diurnal temperature variation, produce wines of structure and balance, which can be consumed in their youth or laid down in the cellar. Red wines are made principally from Prieto Picudo or Mencía; whites from Albariño, Godello and Verdejo.
