ARTADI
Bodegas ARTADI is today, undoubtedly, a reference point as one of the best Bodegas in Spain. This success is based on their daily work in the vineyards and the search of pure/honest wines tied to the history and the tradition of their ancestors.
The seeds of this renowned winery started in 1981, when its current owner, Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, together with this family and thirteen local growers founded a cooperative. The cooperative focused on the production of Carbonic Maceration wines, very traditional and popular in the Rioja Alavesa region. In 1992, the cooperative was dissolved and Bodegas y Viñedos Artadi de Laguardia, S.A. was established. Step by step during the last 40 years, they have set different challenges and reached goals to discover the great values that are hidden among the vineyards in the region.
VIÑA EL PISÓN
After all his life dedicated to the vine growing and the production of wine, in 1945 Mr. Jenaro San Pedro, made his personal and family dream come true by planting Viña El Pisón. The estate chosen was a piece of land close to the village, with a medieval mill in the centre, located in a natural amphitheatre. He then built a stone wall to get some privacy for him and his special relationship with his vines. In 1963 he passed away, at the age of eighty years old, but his dream did not end with him; his family continued it. In 1991, driven by this admiration to his grandfather, Juan Carlos López de Lacalle took up the torch to pay a tribute to him and produced Viña El Pisón.
The balance between the natural factors that are part of the environment produce a wine full of subtle mineral character, pure fruit, delicate spicy hints and enveloping tannins. A wine with a surprising expression and energy. Natural elegance.
PAGOS VIEJOS
The great balance of the old vineyards makes the authentic spirit of this wine. Low production, together with painstaking elaboration and ageing of the wine within the barrel gives a colourful wine with complex aromas, good backbone and long finish.
I first visited Bodega Artadi back in the summer of 1998, Juan Carlos and Ana were as hospitable and welcoming then as they were on my last visit in March 2017, nearly twenty years later. In that time the winery has been completely transformed, and now almost near completion is the new barrel room, tasting room and dining area. The philosophy in relation to making wine has remained constant, absolute attention to detail and a desire to make a final wine that is a pure expression of the vineyard that produces it. The wines produced at Artadi are classic examples of Tempranillo in its most expressive, pure form.
