Cuentaviñas' white wine follows the tradition of naming their wines after the unique characteristics of the soils of their single vineyards. In this case, it's a nod to the rugged terrain of El Llano vineyard. Arriscado, an adjective meaning "rocky," which perfectly encapsulates the essence of our vineyard. This plot, a collage of colluvial sedimentation, is composed of 55% limestone rocks and gypsum, imparting a distinct stony character and limestone sapidity to our wine. Nestled in the lower part of San Vicente, it's an extension of the colluvial tongue that originates in Peciña, passes through La Rad, and culminates at the Ebro River. Arriscado is a wine with a very mineral and savory character. The wine's stoniness takes center stage, harmonizing with the fusion of citrus and the sapidity and savory character.
