Malaparte

Through expressions with a artisanal and slightly funky character, bodega Malaparte aims to showcase the most spontaneous viticultural face of Cuéllar, a Spanish municipality located in the eastern part of the autonomous community of Castile and León. Mariano de Frutos' dream of producing his wine began to come true in 1996 with the purchase of the first 3.5 hectares of old Tempranillo vineyards in the area once cultivated by his ancestors. Mariano was one of the first to believe in this wine-growing territory, promoting its recovery, and with the commercialization of the first label in 2004, the dream became reality. The current structure housing the winery was built in 2007 in a functional style and is divided into three different parts: a room dedicated to winemaking, a hall for aging wines, and a space for final adjustments.

The Spanish production reality of Malaparte consists of 5.5 hectares of vineyard area, managed according to the principles of organic farming and adopting techniques that promote soil fertility, such as spontaneous cover cropping. The vineyards, located at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, rest on limestone soils characterized by abundant sand presence and benefit from significant temperature excursions between day and night. The varieties cultivated by the estate include Tempranillo, Syrah, Moscato, and Grenache, the latter coming from vines about 75 years old, as well as Albillo, Jerez, Verdejo, and Huerta del Rey. The winemaking vessels used by the bodega include refrigerated stainless steel tanks, terracotta amphorae, and oak barrels, both French and American, where the wines take shape.
