The 2022 Emilio Moro Finca Resalso is expansive and well-built on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of black earthy notes and tangy blackberries. Try it with a grilled leg of lamb.

Winemaker Notes

Finca Resalso is the name of a historical vineyard which was planted in 1932, the year in which Emilio Moro was born. Finca Resalso is also the name we have given to their wine which is made from grapes from their youngest vines. Cherry red color with a violet rim typical of its youth. In the nose it is expressive and intense where the primary aromas of Tempranillo of red berry fruit stand out and are clearly perceived. In the mouth it is balanced and well-structured, with a pleasant aftertaste.

Winery Notes

Bodegas Emilio Moro is one of the oldest leading quality producers in Ribera del Duero. The history of the family goes back 3 generations. 1st generation Emilio Moro was born in 1891 and 2nd generation Emilio Moro in 1932. Both were born in a viticulture environment surrounded by vineyards and grew up treading grapes and racking wine in their native village of Pesquera de Duero, in the province of Valladolid.

Emilio Moro taught his son, Emilio how to make wine but also to love it. Then Emilio passed along that knowledge, passion, and love for wine to the third generation. Currently the third and fourth generation together run the winery.
