About this Item
Carmelo Rodero belongs to an ancient line of wine producers in the Ribera town of Pedrosa de Duero. With a childhood was spent amongst the vines and wine presses, his earliest memories involve his grandparents producing wine the traditional way. Carmelo’s passion was so intense that, from the time he was an adolescent, he began investing his first earnings in new vine plantings. And so, based on dreams, effort, and sacrifice, he managed to build up a considerable holding. The personality of his wines stems from the combination of two factors: the unique, incomparable characteristics of the vineyards, paired with the most innovative production techniques, and all of this is powered by the strength and enthusiasm of the winemaker and his family.

Critics Ratings
‘Rich fruit flavors of blackberry and cassis are deepened with toast and espresso in this powerful modern red. The texture is generous yet still fresh, with firm tannins and crisp acidity. Polished.’ - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Nov 2012)
