Bodega Ossian

Bodega Ossian is Javier Zaccagnini’s other winery (he is already a co-owner of Bodega Aalto in Ribera del Duero with Mariano Garcia). Javier Zaccagnini developed the Bodega Ossian project alongside Ismael Gozalo, with the firm intention of producing one of Spain’s greatest white wines using 100% organic farming methods and century-old ungrafted vines.

In their work, they are supported by Pierre Mileman, a brilliant Burgundian winemaker renowned for his great wines. Bodega Ossian is considered by many to be the best Spanish white wine. Located in Nieva (province of Segovia), in the heart of the Rueda region, the 30-hectare vineyard consists of vines that are all between 100 and 200 years old. The vines date back to the pre-phylloxera era and are all ungrafted, a truly exceptional phenomenon that is virtually unfindable.

The soils at Bodega Ossian are primarily sandy, and the roots must draw water from the clay layer located more than 8 meters deep! The altitude, ranging between 840 and 930 m (the highest in the entire D.O.), is a decisive factor in the estate’s microclimate. Cultivation is 100% organic, and fermentation takes place using the grapes’ own yeasts. Due to its exceptional character, Bodega Ossian is voluntarily classified by the winery’s team within the appellation surrounding Rueda, Castilla y León.

The great wines of Bodega Ossian are extraordinary, refined, and complex, much like a great Burgundy. They are suitable for aging and deserve the positive international reviews they receive.
