Winemaking has always been a tradition in the village of Fompedraza, even though some of the plantings disappeared with the agricultural reconversion.

We, the Benito Hernando brothers, Fernando, Gaspar and Javier, owners of Bodegas Briego, have recovered this tradition that our father was already exercising in the 60's. We have called this project of fight and illusion Briego, synonym of fight - fight for the quality of this wine, fight to defend rural life and fight to revive the village of Fompedraza.

We started by repurchasing vineyards. In 1988, we began replanting in the municipalities of Curiel de Duero, Pesquera, Peñafiel and Fompedraza. Today we own 70 hectares in production and we control the quality and production of vineyards of more than 60 years old.

In 1992, our dream finally came true and we elaborated our fist wine under the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
