DO Bierzo

            DO Bierzo is situated in the northwest corner of Castile and Leon. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the Cordillera Cantabrica to the north, the Sierra de Cabrera to the south and the Montes de Leon to the east. The River Sil, along with its tributaries, flow through the region.

 

            The harsher aspects of the continental climate of the meseta are tempered by the mountains and river valleys within the region. There is a slight maritime influence on the vineyards as well.
