Location and Climate:

The Monte Amán S.L. bodegas and vineyards are situated in Castrillo Solarana, the municipal district and area belonging to the region of Ribera del Arlanza, where the tradition of elaborating wine and cultivating vines goes back to the Romans in the third century.

The climate conditions of this area are continental, with a clear Atlantic influence. The average temperature is 11°C with annual rainfall of 450-500mm and average of 2,500 hours of sunshine, therefore creating a favourable microclimate for obtaining grapes which produce wholesome and high graded must for the elaboration and ageing of young red wines, Crianzas, Reservas and Grand Reservas.
 

Winery:

The Monte Amán story began in 1985, with a constantly expanding grape plantation of 30 hectares consisting of 95% Tinta del País (Tempranillo) and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. But it was in 1989 when the Barbadillo García family decided to build the industrial premises of elaboration, equipped with modern installations, with the aim of elaborating quality wines.
