About Pruno

Pruno is a red wine from the Ribera del Duero produced by Bodega Finca Villacreces, one of the wineries belonging to Artevino Group. The winery was acquired in 2004 by Gonzalo and Lalo Anton and inaugurated in 2007, following the refurbishment of facilities and the recovery of the vineyard.

Pruno is the smallest of the wineries and was the last to join the family. Pruno continues to receive good reviews, vintage after vintage, including by Robert Parker. Robert Parker is a great lover of this wine and named it as the best Spanish wine in history for less than $20. 

The climate in the Ribera del Duero is continental but with an Atlantic character. It is characterized by dry summers, long and harsh winters, pronounced seasonal temperature fluctuations and a moderate-low rainfall of 350-500 mm each year. This wine is a blend of Tinto Fino and Cabernet Sauvignon from 64 hectares of the Finca Villacreces property in the Milla de Oro in Ribera del Duero. The vineyards are planted on sandy loam soil about 710 metres above sea level.

Regarding the preparation of this fantastic wine, after a manual harvest is carried out in boxes of 15 kg. Grapes undergo a double selection, clusters are first selected manually and then go through a ventilation system. Subsequently, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is performed in stainless steel tanks before maturing. Pruno spends 12 months in 3 year old French oak barrels. A wine with an excellent value.

2021

Pruno 2021 is a red wine with a pleasant aromatic intensity. Notes of roasted cocoa and milky coffee emerge, accompanied by a subtle caramelized touch in harmony with its ripe black fruit notes. On the palate, it presents itself with power and a pleasing volume, reaffirming its fruity character accompanied by mineral hints. An intense, full-bodied, and well-structured red wine with a finish that reveals sweet spices and dark chocolate.

2020 Pruno 2020 is a red wine that on the nose offers intense aromas of red and black fruits in confit (cherries and blueberries) accompanied by notes of toasted cocoa and toffee caramel nuanced with a subtle mineral reminder. On the palate it passes fleshy and well structured. A powerful and wide red wine, with mature tannins and savory nuances of black chocolate and licorice.
2019

Pruno 2019 is a quintessential red wine. On the nose, it is aromatic, with hints of sour cherries, plums, dried herbs, and licorice. The palate reveals a medium to full body with velvety tannins. Succulent and chewy, it boasts a berry fruit profile. The finish is robust with jammy nuances. 

2018

Pruno 2018 is a supple red wine boasting scents of red fruit, hints of spice, and delicate balsamic and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is velvety, robust, and invigorating. A full-bodied wine with vibrant fruit nuances and a prolonged, exceedingly pleasant finish.

2016 Pruno 2016 is a medium-bodied red wine from a vintage where the great production has managed to provide good fluidity to the wine. This wine has rested 12 months in the barrel to achieve a more serious and spicy profile. A good, balanced wine with an excellent price for pleasure.
