The 2010 Valtuille Cova de la Raposa comes from a single vineyard called Cova de la Raposa in the village of Valtuille. It displays a very ripe nose with notes of iron and blood. It has some spiciness in the palate, with plenty of fine-grained tannins and good length. Drink 2014-2020. Castro Ventosa is the family winery of Raul Perez in the village of Valtuille de Abajo. He was fully dedicated to his own projects between 2003 and 2010, but since then he has returned home and is there again working with his young nephews, continuing with the viticulture tradition of the family, documented since 1752. Over generations they have amassed an impressive collection of vineyards that today add up to around 60 hectares, most of them planted with vines that are over 50 years old.
