Ribera del Duero stretches along the Duero River in Castile and produces Spain's most powerful red wines from Tempranillo (locally called Tinto Fino), with high altitude vineyards at 850-1,000 metres giving the wines exceptional concentration and firm tannins. Legendary producer Vega Sicilia has been crafting wines here since 1864, and its Unico is considered among the greatest wines in the world. The region was established as a Denominacion de Origen in 1982.
