El Greco.D.O. Bierzo (Denomination of Origin)The Bierzo Region is located in the northwest of the province of León, within the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, and covers an area of 2,954.28 square kilometers, which represents 18% of the provincial surface area. Geographically, it borders the provinces of Ourense, Lugo, and Asturias and is a communication axis between Galicia, León, and Asturias. It has a characteristic Mediterranean microclimate, with milder temperatures than neighboring areas, and its low altitude generally prevents late frosts, which is quite favorable for the harvest, which usually starts a month earlier than in the rest of Castilla and La Rioja.
Extreme temperatures occur in winter and summer, with an average of 12.3ºC, with minimum averages of 3.6º in cold months and maximums of 23.6º in the hottest months.
Precipitation amounts to around 721 mm in an average year. The annual average insolation is estimated at 2,100 to 2,200 hours of sunshine throughout the year.
In El Bierzo, the vineyard is mainly located on wet brown earth soils, slightly acidic and therefore lacking in carbonates, typical of humid climates.
The acidity level ranges from 4 to 8.5; in the valleys, values above 6 predominate.
The determining quality factors are in the gently sloping terraces where the vines are located very close to the rivers, or on semi-terraced slopes, or in vineyards with steep inclinations at altitudes between 450 and 1,000 meters.
