  1. “Bodegas Piqueras” was founded in 1915. At that time the produce • of a small cellar was aimed at the local market, with no other • expectations that those of selling some hectolitres of wine per year. • In the 50’s, the cellar went through a series of enlargements to suit the • increasing market of red wines sold in bulk to different areas of Spain. • The first bottled wine came out in 1961 and when the controlled area • of production “Almansa” started to work , 100 barrels containing 300 • litres were purchased, which were the first ones used in that area. • From then on, our way of working changes completely focusing our • efforts in increasing our production of bottled wine. • We began to export wine in 1987 which results in a tremendous • change for our cellar. In a few years, several worldwide markets are • opened to us. Nowadays, our production reaches 15 countries and that • means 80% of our bottled wine.
