Antigua Bodega La Sangre is dedicated to "vino a pellizco" - "pinches" of wine: a form of drinking small, unmeasured pours. This traditional way of enjoying wine revives the memory of how it was once consumed. Each glass reflects traditional wine-drinking in Ronda: simply, directly and informally. It connects visitors with local history and everyday customs
This experience is specifically designed for organised groups and professional guides. It offers a practical and authentic introduction to local wine culture. The format is based on serving wine from taps in short tastings. This way the experience can be included in guided routes efficiently, while maintaining a pace that feels both comfortable and authentic.
"Vino a pellizco" forms part of a deeply rooted popular tradition in Ronda and its Serranía. It is not merely a way of consuming wine, but a particular way of experiencing it. Drank in small quantities, usually enjoyed casually standing up. Accompanied by brief conversation and customary gestures, transforming the everyday into ritual.
The expression “a pellizco” - "pinches" - refers precisely to that short pour. Served naturally and without ceremony, yet full of character. It was how people drank wine in between tasks, in the bodega, in the tavern, or at the end of the working day. A sip that fit into the rhythm of daily life rather than interrupting it.
Today, this tradition is recovered and adapted for contemporary visitors. The experience is not a formal tasting, but a direct, simple, and honest way to connect with wine and local customs. "Vino a pellizco" does not aim for spectacle, but memory. It is an invitation to pause for a moment and to taste the territory. Understanding that in Ronda, wine has always been part of both the human and the agricultural landscape.
In this small gesture - a “pinch” of wine - visitors experience a tradition that combines hospitality, rhythm, and local identity.
