Bodegas Piedra
In Zamora, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, the production reality of Bodegas Piedra operates under the sign of sustainability to create authentic expressions of the territory that have the denomination Toro as their nerve center. The estate originated in 1968 within the Vallesa de la Guareña from the dream of the Piedra family to produce wines of excellent quality. This desire has been realized through the combination of modern technologies and industry knowledge with a deep connection to the area.
The varietal platform available to Bodegas Piedra includes Verdejo, Malvasia Castellana, Albillo Real, Garnacha, and, above all, Tinta de Toro, a local biotype of Tempranillo that gives its name to the denomination Toro. The vineyards, mostly very old, extend over about 40 hectares managed under certified organic regime on rocky alluvial soils, low in organic matter, characterized by a variable presence of clay and sand. The climate is continental, influenced by the Atlantic currents that determine significant thermal excursions between day and night. Following the harvest, white, rosé, or red winemaking is carried out through controlled temperature fermentations in stainless steel tanks or in barriques of various types of wood, such as oak and cherry, followed by aging for more or less extended periods in the same types of wine containers.
The goal of the wine-producing reality Bodegas Piedra is to offer a wide and varied range of wines capable of meeting the diverse needs of consumers, based on the Denominacion de Origen Toro and Rueda. The most prestigious labels are the red Toro ‘Lagarona Tinto’ and Toro ‘Paredinas’, full and structured interpretations with an intense spicy aromatic profile, true manifestations of the denomination. The winery also produces more accessible and immediate white, rosé, and red wines, made without added sulfites and excluding invasive oenological treatments.
