PICO CUADRO
In today's world and its production of identic and impersonal wines, Pico Cuadro as a handcraft winery represents a heroic gesture declaring its values in contrast to “just in time” elaboration.
The commitment to a more painstaking and time-consuming way of working is also a commitment to creativity, talent and the time-honoured craftsmanship of the skilled hands that carry out the richness of the soils.
The objective is to express the individual character of each vineyard through the wines, delivering a real taste of the local terroir with maximum purity and individuality.
Pico Cuadro winery is located in the “Golden Mile” of the Ribera del Duero region, which spans 22 km between Quintanilla de Onésimo and Peñafiel in north-central Spain. The area is recognized globally for its prestigious vineyards, wineries and of course wines.
Selection of old vineyards with a low yield per hectare. Vines are an average age of 60 years old, planted on dry slopes at an average elevation of 850 meters above sea level.
Working together with winegrowers from the very moment of selection of the grape by grape for a new vintage, worked by hand, using only natural processes.
This is how every Pico Cuadro wines comes to life, born of the love of skilled winegrowers.
Traditional techniques are used, respecting nature’s rhythms, identifying the optimal moments to work in the field, creating an intimate connection with the vineyard and its environment and ensuring the same health for the plant as well for the land.
Gradually, consciously and thoughtfully, Pico Cuadro has created over the years a business model that is all about sustainability.
The result, wines that are genuine, distinctive and perfect that acquire true beauty with the passage of time. The ageing process reveals the natural beauty of the noble wood barrels, imbuing each groove, with personality and character.
It is precisely this that makes each Pico Cuadro wines a piece unique: the way they value the richness added by time and love to every wine
