An expression of our youngest vineyards.
The Moro family has been making wine for more than 120 years in Ribera del Duero. Bodegas Emilio Moro is a family-owned estate which encompasses 70 hectares of vineyards in several parcels within Pesquera de Duero, located on the banks of the Duero River.
The Emilio Moro vineyards have the advantage of including the indigenous Tinta del Pais, a local Tempranillo cultivar. Another advantage is the location and variety of soil types. Pesquera is well known for its wine growing tradition. The diversity of soils, together with the varying exposure of the vines to sunshine, gives each estate's wine its individual character.
Finca Resalso is the name of a historic vine that was planted in 1932, the year that Emilio Moro was born. This is the name given to this wine, although it is produced with vines between 5 and 12 years old.
