Detilio

The red wine Detilio from Ribera del Duero is an authentic oenological jewel that deserves to be highlighted. Produced in one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions, Ribera del Duero, this wine embodies the passion and winemaking tradition of the area. The family character of this project is committed to maintaining the essence of respect for our agricultural origins, hence the iconic representation of the cereal spike that so many farmers have cultivated in the fields of Langayo, our hometown. Bodega Casa Detilio was born as a tribute to our parents, Paquita and Tilio, who have instilled in us the spirit of respect, work, friendship and passion. In the heart of the Valladolid Ribera del Duero, on its southwest balcony, lies the “Teso la Talda” estate, an exceptional plot, a hill crossed by steep slopes and beautiful valleys, where the Tempranillo variety reaches its maximum expression and uniqueness, at 849 meters above sea level, creating a special microclimate. A sedimentary limestone massif, deep soils with 82% calcium carbonates. Surrounded by pine, gall oak, holm oak and scrubland formed by thyme and gorse. This gives it a privileged place for nature and wildlife. 11 hectares of our own vineyard, 100% Tempranillo, with a planting density of 3,300 plants/hectare, begun to be planted in 2002. The first vintage of DETILIO 2020, rated as excellent by the Regulatory Council, is an author wine, exclusive and of very limited production. Intense, with a lively nerve that seeks the purity, elegance and finesse that the chalky soils of the plateau provide. Produced from a single vineyard, “Teso la Talda”, hand-harvested in early October 2020 and made through integral vinification in 500-liter barrels with daily manual punch-downs, indigenous yeasts, malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for at least 14 months, to forge the perfection of Ribera del Duero’s purity, a very high level of self-demand that can only lead to excellence.
