General Information
Pruno is a red wine praised by the guru Robert Parker: previously categorized as the best wine in the world for its magnificent value for money and as the best Spanish wine in history within the range of wines under 20 dollars. Pruno Magnum 2022 is no exception, showing a very high standard of quality.
Pruno is the result of the meticulous work carried out in the different plots of Finca Villacreces (64 hectares), located in the 'golden mile' of Ribera del Duero. It is made from hand-harvested and meticulously selected tempranillo (90%) and cabernet sauvignon grapes. Aged for 12 months in the finest French oak barrels, it is in perfect condition to enjoy now and promises a magnificent evolution. A must-have from Ribera del Duero.
Finca Villacreces, a splendid estate in Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), with vineyards neighboring Vega Sicilia, was acquired in 2004 by the Artevino group. After renovating the existing winery (founded in 1994) and carefully recovering the vineyard, Finca Villacreces embarked on a successful path to become one of the leading wineries in Ribera del Duero. Pruno Magnum 2022 is their entry-level wine.
Creators' opinion
Que Pruno fuera bendecido por Parker no es casualidad. Desde que nació este vino, se ha visto una evolución constante gracias al concienzudo trabajo que hacemos en las diferentes parcelas de Finca Villacreces. Gracias a ello, conseguimos una uva idónea para crear un estilo muy personal, muy de finca, que aúna elegancia con juventud.
The winery
In 2004, the Artevino group acquired Finca Villacreces, a spectacular estate with centuries of history in a privileged location, within the area known as the ‘Golden Mile’ of Ribera del Duero, with vineyards adjacent to the legendary Vega Sicilia. After the renovation of the existing winery (founded in 1994) and meticulous work on vineyard recovery, Finca Villacreces embarked on a successful journey, becoming one of the most outstanding wineries in Ribera del Duero.
Finca Villacreces boasts 64 hectares of vineyards divided into 15 different plots (based on soil, altitude, exposure, microclimate, vine training systems…), and each variety is cultivated in the site where it best adapts. The main grape is tempranillo, complemented by other French-origin varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and merlot.
Finca Villacreces is part of the Artevino group and produces the brands Pruno (the best Spanish wine under $20 according to guru Robert Parker), Finca Villacreces, and the top-tier Nebro.
