In addition to producing a very significant number of excellent wines, the DO Bierzo has winemakers who are being closely watched for their cultivation and winemaking techniques. This small but important denomination has several of the most respected Spanish producers. Ra\u00fal P\u00e9rez, Losada, La familia Palacios and Cesar M\u00e1rquez P\u00e9rez, just to name a few. \u00a0

The Bierzo region is located in the northwest of the province of Le\u00f3n, within the Autonomous Community of Castile and <\/em><\/h5>\r\n
Lion.<\/em> Geographically it borders the provinces of Ourense, Lugo and Asturias and is a communication hub between Galicia, Le\u00f3n and Asturias.\u00a0<\/h5>\r\n
El Bierzo is characterized by having sloping terrain, ranging from 450 to 800 meters above sea level, whose hills are oriented to the four cardinal points.<\/h5>\r\n
The soil is based on Miocene materials covered by a Quaternary layer. The texture is silty-loamy, moderately acidic, with a pH close to 5.5 with no carbonates, typical of humid climates.<\/h5>\r\n
El Bierzo dates back to Roman times, when they promoted agriculture by introducing crops such as grapes.<\/h5>\r\n
\"\"<\/h5>\r\n
After centuries of production and having achieved a certain reputation in the markets of Galicia and Asturias, the wines of Bierzo suffered a terrible blow at the end of the 19th century, when a phylloxera plague practically wiped out the vines.<\/h5>\r\n
El Bierzo produces different varieties of grapes. The production of wines covered by the DO must be carried out exclusively with the following varieties: Menc\u00eda, Garnacha tintorera, Godello, Do\u00f1a Blanca, Palomino and Malvasia.<\/em><\/h5>\r\n
