1076 is the elevation in meters, the highest vineyards in the D.O. The wine is produced from a recently restored vineyard where ancestral vines over 100 years old grow harmoniously together with new, indigenous plantings in varied soils comprised of red clay, sand and mineral deposits of quartz, mica, and feldspar.
Coming from a unique landscape, extreme altitude and mineral-rich soil, 1076 Tinto is a bold wine with a distinct character designed to evolve over time. Its freshness and intensely fruity expression are representative of a modern style, in search of elegance, smoothness and balance. Very deep cherry color with complex and expressive aromas of spice, minerals and black fruits. It is full-bodied, long and has great length.

"The 2022 Milsetentayseis is a Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, also cultivated at the regional limit. Garnet in color, it offers intense aromas of herbs and cherries framed by subtle oak aging. The palate is dry, juicy and lightly compact, with an evident chalky texture, medium body and good depth of flavor. Like many Ribera del Duero wines, it will benefit from some time to soften the tannins. - Joaquín HIDALGO"

"A village-styled wine of Tempranillo and native varieties slated for a fall 2025 release, the older vines used in the wine were able to withstand the heat of the vintage with grace under pressure. Just 5% new oak keeps it relatively fresh and balanced in rich, ripe black fruit and earthy tannin, letting its provenance speak. It should hit its stride in the next 3-5 years and keep getting better over the following 10 years. - Virginie BOONE"

"The 2021 Milsetentayseis is a Tempranillo planted at the climatic limit for Ribera del Duero. Slightly reductive notes of cherry and sour cherry appear on the nose, accented by field herbs, a touch of sun-kissed ripeness and soft oak. The palate is dry, intense and grippy, delivering juicy freshness and coarse-grained tannins that result in a slightly compact impression. It finishes with pleasant fruit, and the tannins are expected to soften over time. - Joaquín HIDALGO"

"As the percentage of new oak has fallen over the last three years, so this impressive wine has started to express the remarkable freshness and quality of its terroir between 900 and 1,076 metres in Fuentenebro. Mostly made from very old vines, it's an assemblage of Tinto Fino and 15% Alarije, Albillo Mayor, Bobal, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo and Viura that's wonderfully bright, chalky, layered and complex. Racy and refined, with red berry and pomegranate flavors, a dusting of oak and textured tannins. 2025-32"
- Tim Atkin (Ribera del Duero 2023 Special Report), 96 pts
"Tangy and fresh nose with an inviting layer of grilled herbs and stones that give a lot of energy to the blackberries, blueberries, dark chocolate and graphite. Quite juicy and fine-grained on the full-bodied palate with powerful, mealy tannins that melt into the long but subtle finish. Consistently a polished, outstanding Ribera del Duero. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"Aromas of blackberry jam and clove waft from the glass. This wine's flavors of ripe summer cherry, blueberry pie, clove, white chocolate and caramel are set into a network of durable tannins. The remarkably bright, lingering finish is laced with notes of vanilla and orange zest. - Mike DESIMONE"

"A concentrated Ribera del Duero with a tight wrap of creamy tannins that suggest potential. I love the depth of the fruit here, complemented by fine-tuned spices. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2024."

"Tasted once again, the second vintage of the red 2019 Tinto comes from a warm and dry year when they used larger barrels—300- 400- and 600-liter ones—for some 16 months élevage, and the oak feels neatly folded into the wine. Despite being a warmer year, the wine has less alcohol than the 2018 but is still at 14.5%. The wine remains creamy and with a luxurious palate of ripe fruit and spicy oak flavors but with more balance and good ripeness. The tannins are fine, and the mouthfeel is dry and serious, a return to the Ribera from the early 1990s. 27,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021. - Luis GUTIERREZ"

"Like the rosé, I also found better balance and more integrated oak in the second vintage of the red, the 2019 Tinto, where they used larger barrels, 300- 400- and 600-liter, and the oak is neatly folded into the wine. Despite being a warmer year, the wine has less alcohol than the 2018. The wine remains creamy and with a luxurious palate of ripe fruit and spicy oak flavors but with more balance.

"Inky violet. Potent aromas of cassis, cherry preserves, incense and potpourri, plus oak spice and mineral topnotes. Alluringly sweet and concentrated, with a spine of smoky minerality supporting intense flavors of dark berry liqueur, bitter chocolate, cola and candied lavender. Youthful, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to an impressively long, juicy finish that echoes the dark berry and floral notes. - Josh Raynolds."
- Vinous (February 2021), 95 pts
"The wine is deep cherry in color exhibiting complex, expressive aromas. Its minerality comes from the soil, the black fruit from the Tempranillo and the spice from a sometime in oak. The combination leads to a full body that finishes with great length.

"Very fine-tannined Duero with berry, chocolate and walnut character. Medium body. Solid core of fruit. Linear and very long. Polished and thought-provoking. Drinkable now, but better in 2023."
