Curiosities:
Bodegas Mauro is the first family winery of Mariano García in Castilla y León (since Maurodos is included in the Toro denomination). It is named after his father, Mauro García.
Bodegas Mauro was founded in 1980, two years before the Ribera del Duero D.O. was constituted, but Bodegas Mauro was excluded from the Denomination of Origin for reasons strictly of geographical delimitation at the time of its constitution, because the historical arguments of the Tudela de Duero vineyards were not considered sufficient.
The vineyards of Bodegas Mauro date back to the time of the Austrians (1562, Philip II) and were exempted from payment of taxes for their excellent quality. On the other hand, Mauro has always maintained strict quality standards and, freed from the rigidity of the D.O., has managed to take advantage of this by producing wines with great potential. They own 35 hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Tudela de Duero and Santibáñez de Valcorba.
