TRILOGY
BODEGAS PROTOS
RIBERA DEL DUERO & CIGALES • SPAIN
"Three faces of the same legend: from the freshness of Aire to the depth of Crianza, the definitive expression of the Duero."
The Legacy of Protos
This trilogy celebrates the versatility of **Bodegas Protos**, a pioneer in Ribera del Duero since 1927. The package brings together the innovative spirit of the winery with **Protos Aire** (pale Rosé) and **Protos Clarete**, both under the **D.O. Cigales**, Spain's leading region for rosés. The experience culminates with **Protos Crianza**, a global benchmark from the **D.O. Ribera del Duero**, which provides the structure and noble character of oak.
