The history of the Villota family dates back to the beginning of the century. After 9 decades linked generation after generation to the world of wine, the Villota family under the tutelage of Ricardo Pérez Villota separated from Contino to create their own society, giving life to unique wines, where the expressiveness of their "terroir" is their motivating law. Limited production wines, a reflection of an exceptional vineyard.
