Bodegas Pinoso is based in the Alicante region of Spain. They are a co-operative who were founded in 1932 to unite local family winegrowers, pooling their tools and experience to create great wines that represent the region. In the late 90’s the winery shifted towards enhancing the towns environmental stewardship, emphasising sustainable practices, committing to support young farmers to convert to organic farming, increase biodiversity and eliminate all pesticide use. By 2010 1200 ha of vine were certified organic and this continues to grow. The winery also encourage the use of more traditional local varieties such as Garnacha Tintorera, Monastrell, Moscatel and Airen.
