Viñedos and Bodega Marcelino Serrano

The Viñedos and Bodega Marcelino Serrano, located in a beautiful part of Alcalá la Real, in the Sierra Sur District in Jaén, has its own vineyard growing the top-quality varieties of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay, Garnacha Blanca and Muscatel, which are separately turned into wine and then conveniently blended to produce structured wines and which are very fruity and suitable for ageing.

The wine cellar has modern facilities equipped with up-to-date technology for the production of wine. The deep-rooted family tradition imposes a philosophy of high quality on the wines produced with the Tierra Sierra Sur de Jaén Protected Geographical Indication, all a result of the love and care shown.

The Marcelino Serrano Wine cellars and vineyards provide a series of activities for you to discover their wine, history and way of life.
