Hito comes from the younger vines of Emilio Moro's sister winery, Cepa 21. The word "Hito", in Spanish, refers to a stone post used in agricultural stone roads to indicate a direction, and, embracing this as its philosophy, Hito aims to point the way with easy to drink, rich, and well-balanced taste in a well-priced wine.

"I was surprised to see the 2018 Hito showing riper than the 2017 I tasted next to it. It was produced with the Tempranillo grapes of their youngest vineyards from a cool and rainy year. In a cold year, the grapes sometimes take longer to ripen, and the wines come through as riper than in a warmer year when ripening is faster. This seems to be the case here, with this glossy 2018 that shows more body and more tannins. A powerful red Tempranillo. 350,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019, after eight months in French barriques."
