The vines that sustain the essence of Siluvio are born in what was the bed of the old Ibias river.
The soil that supports them still preserves the centuries-old silica of the boulders tattooed by the passage of the current.
Together with the schist and slate slabs, they make up a diversity of surface soil that attracts attention.

Land Characteristics
El sol
The council of Ibias has the highest temperatures, more daylight hours and receives more hours of sunshine in the Principality of Asturias.
Hence our reason for being in this location.
IBIAS, THE SUN OF ASTURIAS
La Lluvia
Asturias is a region characterized by its high water levels. But our council (Ibias) is the place with less rainfall per square meter in the vegetative period of the vine (April / September). This creates a unique microclimate for the cultivation of vines in Asturias.
La Vaguada
The vineyards are located in a terraced valley with a semicircular shape, similar to an ancient Roman amphitheater, creating a landscape of singular beauty. Slopes between 45% and 60% give meaning to this heroic viticulture. The vines occupy 7.5 hectares, making it the largest winegrowing area in the Principality of Asturias.
A small river that meanders at the foot of the vineyard and the winery give it a unique personality.
El Subsuelo
The subsoils are sandy loam-loam with a high percentage of sands that make the roots go deep and strive to get the desired moisture to survive. In this way, all the complexity of trace elements and subsoil profiles are transmitted to our fruit.
