Big Bottles Protos Crianza 2021 1.5 Liters

Protos Crianza manages to capture the "terroir" of Ribera del Duero, which is reflected in every sip and in the feeling of a land.

Protos, from the Greek "FIRST", has the pride and privilege of having found maturity and rest in the largest and first of the wineries in the area, maintaining its fame over time.
In 1927, the courage and attachment to the land of the region's wine growers managed to join forces to create the winery, the first in the Ribera. A project for the future that, as well as having arrived intact to our days, grows and multiplies every year, and has taken its name to the top of the international scene.

The 1930s saw the winery's definitive establishment on an international level. Especially after the 1929 Universal Exhibition in Barcelona awarded its red wines a gold medal.

The company grew very quickly and the first problems of space arose, thus beginning its expansion throughout the region. Construction began on an ageing cellar in the heart of the mountain that supports the castle of Peñafiel.

Such is its brand of quality and prestige that in the 1980s a renowned wine region adopted its name, Ribera de Duero, to identify the Regulatory Council of the Designation of Origin that would watch over the quality of the wines of the area. In 1995, the ageing cellar was extended, and it was consolidated in the international wine scene.

The project has continued to grow with the acquisition of a winery in Anguix (Burgos) with a capacity to produce up to two million kilos of grapes and equipped with the most advanced technology.
