Vistalegre Tempranillo
The high prices of the fertile lands near the Ebro river (used for cereals at that time), forced our great-grandfather Balbino to acquire in 1929 one of the poorest, but at the same time, most complex soils in the area. To this day, we have the privilege of being responsible for preserving this magical plot.
