Dominio del Pidio
Description
Data of interest
Cillar de Silos is one of the wineries that has revitalized Ribera del Duero since the 1990s. A winery established in Quintana del Pidio (Burgos), founded by Amalio Aragón, who in the 1970s, against the trend of his fellow villagers, began gathering the best plots of old tempranillo vineyards in the area instead of uprooting them. This is a privileged area for this variety, located at an altitude of almost 900 m, where the tempranillo benefits from a slow ripening process. The first wines of Cillar de Silos were released in 1995. Since then, the winery has continued to grow in quality and recognition.
Dominio del Pidio is the second winery that the family has established, exclusively dedicated to the production of village wines. This winery debuted with the 2014 vintage and only produces grapes from Quintana del Pidio, while Cillar de Silos also works with vineyards from nearby villages, such as Gumiel de Mercado.
