Bierzo is an ancient vineyard region just south-east of Galicia and south of Asturias and Cantabria in the north-west corner of Leon, encompassing the Campo di Santiago pilgrim’s path in northern Spain. The local black grape is Mencia but there’s also some old local Spanish grapes for making white wine, the main one of which is called Godello.
Legado de Farro farm 62 acres (25 hectares) of 25 years old vines in Villafranca del Bierzo and are pretty clean in their farming practices. Grapes are vinified by a local family business Vinos de Arganza. Following fermentation at a controlled temperature, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels.
