DO Ribera del DueroTinto Fino, Albillo MayorORGANIC CERTIFIEDLa Aguilera, Burgos

Founded in 2010 by Jorge Monzon and Isabel Rodero, Dominio del Aguila farms 66 hectares of old-vine Tinto Fino under certified organic status, verified by the Consejo Ecologico de Castilla y Leon (the regional organic certification authority). Winemaking is low-intervention: natural yeast fermentations, whole-cluster co-fermentations, foot treading, and ageing in restored 15th-century cellars. The Picaro del Aguila and Reserva are the estate's signature bottlings. Organic certification confirmed on the producer's own site and importers' pages.
