LANZAGA
Lanzaga is the backbone of our project, our identity, the purest expression of our work in Lanziego. Made only from a selection of the best grapes from our own organic vineyards, this wine brings together all the elements from our ways of working; respect for the site, bush pruning, field blends, organic viticulture, concrete fermentation, aging in foudres and barrels of different sizes and origins, always maintaining a limited production. The result is a rich and complex expression of the village of Lanziego; a Rioja wine with a true sense of place; a serious and sophisticated wine that ages wonderfully.
