"The pleasure of sharing in a large format: the vitality of the classic Protos Roble, in a 1.5-liter bottle."
The Pleasure of Sharing
The Magnum format is ideal for big tables: a single bottle for barbecues, family dinners and gatherings. Bodegas Protos, in Peñafiel, makes this Roble from Tinta del País (Tempranillo) with 4 months of barrel aging, which keeps the fruit fresh and rounds out the tannins.

It is ideal for groups of 6 to 8 people, with about 10 glasses per bottle.
