Profile of Emilio Moro
Emilio Moro is a family-owned winery making wine for 120 years. The family owns 144 acres of vines in Pesquera de Duero, in the Ribera del Duero region looking over the Duero River from an elevation of 700 meters. The 3rd generation Moro, Emilio started working in the winery with his father at 14. In the late 80’s he had a meeting with his four children, and they decided to increase the winery’s commercial end. Emilio planted new vines, grafting the centenarian grapes onto the young ones. In 1989 when Bodegas Emilio Moro was finally a reality, they launched their first wine, gaining the DO. Nowadays, they not only own 173 acres where they grow their indigenous grapes, Tempranillo or Tinto Fino, but they have also extended the Cellar. In September 2001, the new winery was finished.
