The unique characteristics of the microclimate in this subzone of Rueda and its altitude, which reaches up to 850 meters, give the Segovian verdejo a special character. Atino Blanco 2023 is the faithful expression of this variety. Herrero Bodega, a young family-run winery based in Nieva, presents this fresh, fruity, and full-bodied wine that invites you to enjoy and share.
General features
General Information
Atino Blanco 2023 is a single-varietal wine that showcases all the qualities that Verdejo offers in the Segovian part of the D.O. Rueda. The grapes used in its production come from vineyards aged between 12 and over 30 years, planted on stony soils in the localities of Nieva, Aldeanueva del Codonal, Moraleja de Coca, and Santiuste de San Juan Bautista.
Founded in 2011 by the Herrero Vedel brothers, Herrero Bodega is one of the most interesting young wineries in this subzone of Rueda. To produce Atino Blanco 2023, the night-harvested grapes underwent a pre-fermentation maceration, and after the static settling of the musts, fermentation was carried out at low temperatures. The resulting wine is distinguished by its clean and bright color, its aroma of stone fruits and citrus, and its long, light, and fresh palate.
Tasting notes
Of a pale yellow hue.
The nose is dominated by aromas of pip fruits such as pear and green apple.
Splendidly fresh on the palate.
