Production and refinement

Tempranillo cultivated at 750 meters above sea level. The grapes, upon arrival at the winery, are carefully selected and fermented in stainless steel tanks.

After fermentation in steel, the wine is aged for 10 months in old 4,500-liter clay amphorae, used by our ancestors. The wine is bottled and rests for at least 36 months in the bottle. Considering the natural production processes, sediment may form at the bottom of the bottle over time, which does not affect the quality of the wine.

Bodegas Verum

In the heart of La Mancha, in 1788, the story of Cantina Verum Tomelloso begins. The winery we see today dates back to the second half of the twentieth century and is led by Maria Belen, who founded Bodegas y Viñedos Verum.

The family's story is one of land and wine, closely linked to Airen, the white grape variety symbolizing the heart of Spanish white wine viticulture.

Bodegas Verum

This is a tale of enhancing local grape varieties and old vineyards. The average age of the winery's vineyards is 50 years, and the company has dedicated a large area of its vineyard to the preservation and recovery of ancient varieties from La Mancha.

Spain

Spain is one of the absolute protagonists of European viticulture and ranks third in the world in terms of quantity produced. With a centuries-old tradition in oenology and viticulture, some of its wines have rightfully become part of the select group of the most appreciated types globally. An example is Jerez (or Xérès in French, or Sherry in English).

The importance of tradition in Spanish viticulture is confirmed by the fact that the spread of international grape varieties of French origin is very limited, and indigenous grape varieties clearly prevail.

In Spain, there are numerous traditional designations that integrate with the standard European denominations (PDO and PGI). Similarly to the French (AOC) and Italian (DOC) systems, the Spanish one also involves the use of specifications, introduced for the first time in the early 1900s, and includes numerous DOs (Denominación de Origen) that cover about 50% of national production and two DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada), introduced in 1991 - namely Rioja DOCa and Priorat DOCa. Wines that cannot be labeled with the DO abbreviation are called Vino de la Tierra (VdlT), which is equivalent to the Italian IGT.

On the label, you can find other traditional mentions that refer to the aging of the wine before marketing, namely:

- Joven: young wines, with about a year of aging;
- Crianza: Red wines with at least two years of aging (one in barrel)
White and rosé wines aged for at least six months in barrel;
- Reserva: Red wines with at least three years of aging (one in barrel)
White and rosé wines with at least two years of aging (six months in barrel);
- Gran Reserva: Red wines with at least five years of aging (two in barrel)
White and rosé wines with at least four years of aging (six months in barrel).

Casttilla - La Mancha

Castilla-La Mancha is a famous wine region known for its table wines, but recently, an increasing number of high-quality wines have been emerging. It's a vast wine region located southeast of Madrid.

The region's climate is continental, characterized by harsh conditions and extreme temperature fluctuations, both daily and seasonally. In summer, temperatures can reach 40°C, while during the long and cold winters, they drop below freezing. The vineyards are situated at altitudes ranging from 500 to 700 meters, but this doesn't fully compensate for the scorching temperatures of the summer season. The rivers Tagus, Guadiana, and Guadalquivir, flowing westward, and Júcar and Segura, flowing into the Mediterranean, provide water to the region, although they tend to significantly reduce their flow in summer.

Castilla-La Mancha is home to nine Denominación de Origen, including La Mancha, which is the largest in Europe. The others are Almansa, Manchuela, Mentrida, Mondejar, Ribera del Jucar, Toledo, Ucles, and Valdepeñas.

Traditionally, in the Castilla-La Mancha area, grape varieties suited to the hot and dry climate are cultivated. Among whites, the most widespread is Airen. However, it's the black grape varieties that dominate the scene, including Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Garnacha, Alicante Bouschet (known here as Garnacha Tintorera), Monastrell, Syrah, and Bobal. Most of these varieties are used in blends, producing wines that are then aged in barrels, although the production of varietal wines is increasing.
Black grape varieties dominate the scene.
