General Information

Proventus 2020 is the result of one of the most interesting projects that have emerged in Ribera del Duero in recent decades: Bodega Tr3smano - Lagar de Proventus. Its creators are none other than the Ruiz family (owners of the Mexican importer La Europea) and their associate Antonio Sierra, Fernando Remírez de Ganuza (one of the few Spanish winemakers who have achieved 100 Parker points) and Pedro Aibar, known for his excellent work at Viñas del Vero and El Coto de Rioja.

With such a stellar lineup leading the way, it is inevitable that we are facing a spectacular wine. Proventus 2020 is made entirely from Tempranillo grapes from old vineyards, aged for 12 months in two-year-old French oak barrels. A wine from the D.O. Ribera del Duero ideal for pairing with grilled or barbecued red meats, such as a charcoal-grilled yearling tenderloin with sautéed boletus, or game dishes like braised pigeon with blackberry sauce.

Tasting notes

Intense cherry red color, well-covered layer.

On the nose, it is complex, concentrated, and very elegant; the aromatic journey begins with clear notes of red fruits and subtle hints of noble woods (cedro) complemented by soft smoky and spicy backgrounds (pepper).

On the palate, it is tasty, silky, and with good structure; the mouthfeel is balanced with excellent deep and integrated tannins that provide a great sense of breadth and volume. Excellent gustatory balance between the notes provided by barrel aging and the fruit nuances. Complex retronasal pathway with smoky, toasted, and spicy notes. Good acidity and persistence.

The winery

Tr3smano
Winery
Oenologist

As its name suggests, Tr3smano is a winery located in the so-called “Golden Mile” of Ribera del Duero, born from the association of three great professionals of the wine scene: José Ramón Ruiz, general director of La Europea, a leading company in the import and distribution of wines in Mexico; Fernando Remírez de Ganuza, one of Spain's most important winemakers; and the prestigious enologist Pedro Aibar, a driving force behind the D.O. Somontano and a key figure in the success of renowned wineries such as Viñas del Vero, Blecua, El Coto, or his family winery Pagos del Moncayo.

With the aim of finding old vineyards to produce an exceptional red wine from their fruit, the joint venture began its journey in 2013 in Peñafiel, “a trasmano” (off the beaten path) from the road connecting this town with its neighbor Quintanilla de Onésimo. The winery's facilities, a building integrated into the landscape and designed by the architectural studio Konkrit Blu, are located near the famous Vaccaei archaeological site of Pintia, where, additionally, there is an ancient winepress used traditionally for grape treading on this estate as early as the 18th century.

Tr3smano has 25 hectares of its own vineyards, with very low yields and planted with tempranillo, as well as 35 more hectares of controlled vineyards. All work is done manually, with the utmost care to preserve the quality of the grapes. In the winery, the brand advocates for a wise combination of tradition and a personal interpretation of new enology techniques, with no fixed rules, both in terms of winemaking and aging, guided solely by the characteristics of each vintage and the potential of the grapes. The result is unique wines, marked by excellence, where fruit, wood, and time merge in perfect balance.
