Bodegas Vitulia
Bodegas Vitulia and their XI Century underground wineries are situated in Aranda De Duero (Castille and León, Spain), land of historic wines, which lies in the heart of the DO Ribera Del Duero. We are a large traditional family winery, where our Winemaker is provides the most modern methods to produce a high quality wine.
Our strategy is clear, take care our vineyards, situated in the best areas of the Ribera, in orde to get the best grapes to produce a great wine.
We provide grape testings in the vineyards in order to harvest a select group of grapes “by hand”. The grapes arrive at our instalations in small baskets weighing around 10 kg to protect them, and undergo a process of cooling in industrial fridges. After this step we choose the best grapes for our selection table, directly after the grapes move on to the elevated belt to pass through destemmer, to remove the stems just in the mouth of the tank to prevent oxidations. In the tanks we use nitrogen for a better fermentation and maceration process, and following our forefathers we use a smooth vertical press.
Our barrels are selected, keeping a composition of 70 % french oak and 30 % american oak, this increases the complexity and elegance of our wines.
We hope to continue offering a wine that makes you enjoy the autentic essence
of Ribera Del Duero.
