Bodegas Bruneo

Bruneo Winery, located in Fermoselle, Zamora, is nestled in the heart of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park. Since 2016, Bruneo has been dedicated to reviving rare and native grape varieties such as Bruñal, Juan García, and Malvasía de Arribes, grown on century-old vines aged between 70 and 120 years, on sunlit terraces with granite soils.

In 2019, the historic winery was restored according to principles of Cultural and Artistic Heritage Conservation. Upon entering, visitors are struck by the height of the first chamber, where the hand-carved caves bear marks of primitive tools—evidence of over 500 years of history. The semicircular arches, built from granite without mortar, recall Roman-style structures. During the restoration, an inverted Hanukkah (Jewish candelabrum) was discovered carved into a stone at the entrance. It features nine semicircular branches and a base stemming from the central arm, symbolically supported by two cross-shaped signs.

The winery maintains a constant temperature of 14°C and optimal humidity for aging wines in French oak barrels. Bruneo produces exclusive wines using traditional methods and ecological farming practices, aiming to highlight the distinctiveness and character of the region through artisanal production and very limited editions.
