Berzo, Wine region and administrative division in León Province, Spain.
El Bierzo extends across 2,828 square kilometers of mountainous terrain surrounding the Sil River basin, containing 23 municipalities with Ponferrada as its capital.
Romans established mining operations in El Bierzo during the empire, extracting gold from sites including Las Médulas, which gained UNESCO World Heritage status.
The region maintains three languages: Spanish as primary, while local variants of Galician with 35,000 speakers and Leonese with 4,000 speakers persist.
The A-6 motorway connects El Bierzo to Madrid and Galicia, while daily flights operate from León Airport to Barcelona and Madrid.
The Mencía grape variety occupies 70 percent of El Bierzo vineyards, producing wines that express the specific characteristics of this mountainous terrain.
