The Story Behind the Wine

Malleolus de Sanchomartín is produced from the Pago de Sanchomartín vineyard, planted in 1944 in Pesquera de Duero. The vineyard's limestone soils impart a unique character to the wine, contributing to its elegance and persistence. The winemaking process involves alcoholic fermentation and maceration in small stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures for 28 days, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in new French oak barrels for 18 months. 

Bodegas Emilio Moro, a family-owned winery with deep roots in Ribera del Duero, is known for its dedication to traditional viticulture and innovative winemaking techniques. The Malleolus range represents the pinnacle of their portfolio, showcasing the unique terroir of their single vineyards.
