By any reckoning, the chief executive and owner of one of Spain\u2019s greatest wineries is a modest man: self-effacing, small in stature, quiet of voice, dapper of dress.

But he did his duty and has now run CVNE, with his sister Maria Urrutia Ybarra as head of marketing, for nearly two decades.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your childhood ambition?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you know now that you wished you\u2019d known when you were 21?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What exercise do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the most expensive thing you\u2019ve ever bought (aside from property)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are some of the Life Lessons with Victor Urrutia of CVNE winery, read more <a href=\"https:\/\/cluboenologique.com\/story\/life-lessons-with-victor-urrutia-of-cvne-winery\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about CVNE <a href=\"https:\/\/cvne.com\/en\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Club Oenologique published these Life Lessons with Victor Urrutia of CVNE winery.
