Bodegas de Frutos Marin was founded Mariano de Frutos in 1996 and had its 1st harvest of Tempranillo in 2004. Now run by his daughter, Elisa, and her husband, Ruben Salamanca, the overachieving couple has a couple of side-hustles, Uvas Nomadas, a crowd-funded project that restores old vineyards and releases a wine from them and Malaparte, natural wines named for the eccentric Italian writer.
