In Coruña del Conde, a small town in the province of Burgos, is the winery of Alberto López Calvo, a man from Burgos who emigrated to France in the 1950s and where he lived four decades of his life dedicated to the world of French cooperage. Currently, the winery continues to preserve the philosophy that Alberto, who died in 2012, installed in it. The legacy is now cared for with the same love by his grandson Julien, who is in charge of the 4 hectares of vineyards that the winery has. There are 1,200 strains of different varieties, with an obvious role of the Tempranillo grape. The recently appeared line of natural wines produced there remains faithful to the Bordeaux style, with a certain complexity and a touch of extraction, but also with the vibrations and this point of rusticity that a more spontaneous vinification implies.
