Wines: Bigardo, Satelite, Pellejo Vino Tinto de Parcela, & Maldito Parné
In this episode, we meet Kiko Calvo, the owner of Bodegas Bigardo, who made his winemaking dream a reality. We are captivated by his journey beginning with his family's plot of land to the manifestation of his very own winery. He tells us of his worldwide travels where he honed his winemaking skills, and shares the mystery behind the symbol on his wine label that tells a tale of his origins in Toro. Kiko's inspiring story, highlighting the courage it takes to forge your own path in the competitive world of wine business, will spark your own aspirations.
In the heart of Spain lies Toro, a magnificent region that offers an extraordinary landscape for vineyards. Kiko brings to life the richness of this land and its old vines that have been home to the Tinto de Toro. He opens up about his commitment to promoting the Toro brand, the globalized wine war, and the stark differences between European and American markets. This episode introduces you to last year's vintage with its extreme weather conditions and how the resilient plants braved the challenge.
Ever wondered how each wine label offers a unique taste to your palate? Kiko's four wine labels, all crafted with 100% Tinto de Toro grapes, present a unique blend of flavors. Making us privy to his 100% human'concept, he reveals how a winery making 50,000 bottles differs from one making 5 million bottles.
After visiting his tasting room, vineyards & winery, we sit at barrel tables next to the Duero River and sample his wines. We discuss their flavours, acidity, and versatility.
