D.O. León, formerly known as D.O. Tierra de León, is located in the south of the province of León, in Castilla y León. It is the home of Prieto Picudo, a native red variety that gives its wines a very distinctive personality.
Prieto Picudo reds usually show good colour intensity, aromas of red and black fruit, freshness and a characteristic acidity. The variety is also suited to oak-aged wines with ageing potential.
Rosé wines have considerable historical importance in the area and can be very aromatic, fresh and expressive.
White wines, especially those made from Albarín, stand out for their aromatic intensity and freshness.
