On the wine route

Winemaking history

Pego, located in the comarca of La Marina Alta, is part of the Denomination of Origin Protected (DOP) Alicante, a region rich in winemaking tradition. The community has been cultivating vines since ancient times, taking advantage of its Mediterranean climate and fertile soils, which have fostered the development of native varieties such as Monastrell.

This wine, which has gained recognition both nationally and internationally, is characterized by its body and versatility in pairings. Pego is also known for its association with Fondillón, a sweet and aromatic wine that represents an important part of the vinous identity of the region.

The combination of traditional and modern techniques in winemaking is reflected in the local wineries, where winemakers find a perfect balance between historical heritage and innovation.
