About
Bodegas Pinoso was set up as a cooperative in 1932 and the work carried out in the vineyards faithfully respects the wining traditions of their wine producers.
The coming together and effort put in by the founding members of Bodegas Pinoso meant that the winery quickly became renowned for the quality of its wines. This is why, in the years that followed, many other wine producers wanted to join the cooperative and initially in 1969 and later on in 1974, the winery was extended so as to make room for the new producers. After quite a lot more expansion at the beginning of the 80’s, the winery was capable of producing up to approximately 19,000.000 litres. It thus became the most important winery cooperative in the province of Alicante with 650 members. At the end of the 90’s the winery began to rethink its quality policy so as to improve its bottled wines while at the same time designating the first areas of the winery land to be used for certified ecological vineyard plots.
The wine is produced from the best white grapes, which ripen under the Alicante sun, coming from organic farming: an ideal blend of the Airén and Macabeo varieties. After a soft crushing, a maceration at a low temperature is carried out to enhance the aromas of each grape variety. The bleeding of the first must called “flor” is produced due to gravity extraction and its subsequent fermentation is extended up to 30 days at a low temperature.
