In Tinto Pesquera
Authenticity lies in that which remains recognisable as time goes by.
In Tinto Pesquera, this is reflected in a a way of making wine that is based on an understanding of the local environment and a close relationship with the vineyard, understanding the territory not only as the place where the wine is produced, but as an essential part of its identity.
A philosophy that celebrates the region’s origins and aims to ensure that each wine retains the distinctive character of the Ribera del Duero. This perspective is particularly evident in his a commitment to Tempranillo, a variety that has been part of the winery’s identity since its inception. The work carried out in the vineyard, the respect for production times and the artisanal nature of the process of certain processes coexist with the investigation and the introduction of new tools, thereby preserving its traditional roots, but always looking to the future.
The way in which it interacts with those who are new to the world of wine also reflects this desire to preserve its own identity. From the winery to wine tourism experiences, Tinto Pesquera is committed to presenting wine from a personal perspective and without pretence, sharing the knowledge, the landscape and the people who form part of the project. A way of understanding hospitality that is directly linked to his family roots.
Because authenticity is not just about preserving a tradition, but about knowing how to evolve whilst remaining true to oneself. It is this consistency between origin, terroir, winemaking methods and vision for the future that has enabled Tinto Pesquera to maintain a recognisable identity after more than five decades and to continue passing on, generation after generation, the same approach to wine.
Wines
Pago de Carraovejas 2022
Pago de Carraovejas 2022 is a true gem that captures the essence of the landscapes and vineyards that surround this iconic winery in Ribera del Duero. Made with a masterful balance of Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine reflects a passion for quality and innovation. Pago de Carraovejas 2022 stands out for its aromatic intensity, with notes of ripe black fruits, subtle spicy hints and balsamic nuances that evoke its ageing in French and American oak barrels. On the palate, its firm structure, velvety tannins and balanced acidity offer an enveloping and persistent experience. A wine that combines tradition, modernity and a deep connection with its terroir, designed to delight the most demanding palates.
Ossian 2022
Ossian 2022 is the representation of a small universe of plots of the Verdejo variety that guard centuries of wine-growing tradition in the area of the Voltoya terraces. Vines up to 200 years old that bear witness to the uniqueness of their varietal richness and an almost extinct reality. Ossian is a historical legacy of Ossian Vides y Viñedos, one of the projects of Alma Carraovejas. The 2022 vintage maintains the elegance and freshness of a unique pre-phylloxera Verdejo. A landscape that has preserved the historical reality of the Segovian verdejo for hundreds of years. Genetic diversity hidden in each vineyard. Surprising delicacy. Length on a rested finish with which the character of the authentic verdejo reappears.
Gastronomic tasting:
Suckling pig pie and garlic soups
The pastela de cochinillo and de ajo are exquisite creations that combine two emblems of Castilian gastronomy.
Pastela de cochinillo is made from suckling pig and is wrapped in a flaky pastry dough finished in the oven, which gives a crunchy touch to its mellow and soft interior.
Sopas de ajo are an iconic dish on Ambivium's menu that comes from the humblest Castilian recipe book, which has been revised to offer its own textures and flavours.
Both wines are best enjoyed with the wines chosen to harmonise them, Pago de Carraovejas 2022 and Ossian 2022, respectively.
