Aditional Information: Dolio is the result of the recovery work we develop on the steep hills of Doade and Abeleda for the last 40 years. Extremely steep terraces in a unique landscape that got abandoned during the Spanish Civil War and that we patiently and dedicatedly manage to recover since the beginning of the project. A blend of some of our most indigenous varieties that concentrates the intense minerality of our terroir and the complexity of each grape, planted on our two most iconic domains.
