Description: In the remote North West of Spain, in a region commonly thought of for cider, cheese, and sheep, there are in fact a few people that make wine. The cooler climate and Atlantic influence dramatically help to develop bright and mineral-driven wines. Winemaking history goes back well over 1,000 years in Asturias on the northern Atlantic coast of Spain. The subregion, Cangas del Narcea is a lush and hilly area (300-700 meters) with steep slopes. The climate is on the cooler side with only about 1-2 months of summer heat. The soils are similar as well: slate, quartzite and anthracite. Pésico is the name of a tribe which inhabited the Cangas valley in pre-Roman times over 2,000 years ago and their beliefs revolved around the natural world and its elements, particularly the sun and the moon.
