BODEGAS PITA

Rubí de Bracamonte, Valladolid, is one of the few places in the world where bustards, the heaviest flying birds on the planet, can be found. The birds have made this protected area their home and their lives are inextricably connected to it. The area is also the site of a “finca” estate covering 56 hectares: La Cantera, which belongs to the Pita family, who are just as tightly entwined with the land as the bustards and use it to make their traditional wine. Drawing on his family ties to the region, enologist Emilio Pita began to apply the knowledge he had acquired in Bordeaux, California and New Zealand there in 2010. From the very beginning, we decided to respect the natural environment in this protected pago estate and make all its wines organic and eco-certified. This new, quality-focused approach allows us to showcase the character of the land where its wines are grown to the best of its abilities. The Pita family winemaking tradition originated on another small finca, covering 8 hectares, which lends its name to the winery’s only red wine, one of the few D.O. Rueda wines: La Bonera
