Cayetano del Pino y C.S.L., Jerez

History

This small company was founded in 1886 by Don Cayetano del Pino y Vázquez (1835-1918), a native of La Carlota, Córdoba. On November 19, 1896, Cayetano del Pino y Compañía was founded and registered at Calle del Rosario, 16, Jerez.

In the 1890s, Cayetano married Bernabea Balbontín, born in Seville in 1869. They had two sons and Cayetano del Pino Balbontin (1896-1935) ran the business successfully from the beginning of the 20th century until his untimely death. The company was then taken over by his brother Enrique. When Enrique died, his sisters ran the business with the help of accountant Jose Luis Sisto, and then in 1962 Cayetano's children Maria Jesus, Cayetano, Angel and Enrique del Pino Bohorquez took over. The company remains in family hands: Cayetano del Pino Bohorquez is the president, Gerardo del Pino Iñíguez is the manager, assisted by his cousin José Enrique Otte del Pino, who is an oenologist, and his brother Miguel Ángel as director. Federico Merino takes care of the accounts.
