Co-exhibitor of ALICANTE, DENOMINACIÓN ORIGEN
Bodega Las Virtudes, located in Villena, Alicante, was founded in 1961 when several small local wineries joined forces to create a cooperative. The bodega has its roots in a long tradition of Mediterranean winemaking and has evolved significantly over the years, incorporating modern techniques while preserving its heritage.
The winery is best known for producing PDO Alicante wines, mainly from Monastrell grapes. Its offer includes organic and plot-specific wines made from old vines, such as its ‘Patrimonio Monastrell’ project. Moreover, Las Virtudes is one of the 10 wineries in the world that produce Fondillón, the only non-fortified, historical and exclusive rancio wine of the Alicante PDO that ages for at least a decade in oak barrels.
In addition to wine, the winery produces extra virgin olive oil, also with organic range, of high quality with native varieties. It maintains its commitment to sustainability and the community, thus ensuring the survival of the landscape and the peaceful life of the Mediterranean hinterland.
