History: Dominio de Anza is Diego Magaña’s Bierzo label, and it’s fitting that the wines are produced in a corner of Raúl Pérez’s bodega in Valtuille de Abajo, since it was through his friendship with Raúl and love of the master’s wines that Magaña was drawn to Bierzo in the first place (the idea was even hatched on a shared sales trip to the United States). Diego’s style, though, is confidently all his own, and critics are taking note: last year, the perceptive Luis Gutiérrez of The Wine Advocate was moved to offer his kudos on a ‘flat out great’ collection of ‘brilliant reds’ singled out as ‘truly outstanding, among the best produced in the appellation.’
