2. Terroir and High-Altitude Viticulture in Caleruega
The uniqueness of Dominio de Calogía lies in its geographical location. Situated in Caleruega, on the eastern edge of the Ribera del Duero in Burgos, the estate benefits from an altitude of over 800 meters above sea level. This altitude generates an extreme thermal gradient between day and night during the ripening season, which allows for the preservation of exceptional natural acidity and the development of primary aromas of enormous purity.
The soils, composed of clay-limestone with the presence of gravel and compact limestone, provide a very characteristic minerality, structuring firm yet velvety tannins. Viticulture is carried out under minimal intervention criteria, severely controlled yield per vine, and manual harvesting in small boxes to ensure the absolute integrity of the fruit.
