The ancestral vineyards of Milsetentayseis (1076) are an integral part of the Alma Carraovejas commitment to restore centenary vines and to capture the essence of this extreme environment. At 1,076 meters above sea-level – the highest vineyard in the Ribera del Duero and to which the vineyard owes its name – this project is defined by its most differentiating characteristic: its altitude.
