Additional Information

The town Pinoso is situated in the western part of the province of Alicante approximately 600 m above sea level. It is about 50 km from the cities of Murcia and Alicante and about 70 km from Benidorm, the best known Spanish tourist resort.

Principal economic activities are: agriculture – cultivation of vines, olive trees, almond trees, shoe and real estate industries, food development and a strong mining activity based on chalk and rock salt.

La Bodega de Pinoso was established as a cooperative in 1932 but the tradition of winemaking in the town goes back centuries, specifically to the era of Roman domain in the Iberian Peninsula.

The main objective of the foundation of the winery was to bring together the efforts of different winegrowers, causing a successive disappearance of many traditional family wineries, and leaving sales and marketing in the hands of other professionals.

At the beginning of the 21st century La Bodega de Pinoso decided to start selling bottled wine under the cooperative brand and to gamble on organic farming, entering a new era had begun. The period of changes started with the construction and modernization of equipment, the creation of new brand names and development of our new commercial network.
