Bodegas Otero is a centenarian family winery. Founded in 1906 in Valles de Benavente, it was the forerunner of the Prieto Picudo wines production and marketing. The Prieto Picudo variety is indigenous from Valles de Benavente. In Spain it is only cultivated in 3.200 Ha, making Prieto Picudo wines unique in the world with a very limited production. The Prieto Picudo variety is ideal for making aged reds and excellent bright rosés.
