Artadi is a winery located in the Rioja Alavesa region of Spain, known for producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the area. Founded in 1985 by a group of friends, including Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, Artadi has since become one of the most respected wineries in the region.
The winery owns over 80 hectares of vineyards, which are planted with a variety of grape varietals, including Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, and Viura. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400-700 meters and are planted on soils that are rich in limestone and other minerals.
Artadi produces a range of wines, including their flagship wine, the Artadi Pagos Viejos. This wine is made from old-vine Tempranillo grapes and is aged in French oak barrels for 18-24 months. The wine is known for its complex aromas of black fruit, spice, and oak, as well as its full-bodied and well-structured palate.
In addition to their Pagos Viejos wine, Artadi also produces a range of other wines, including the Artadi Valdeginés, the Artadi El Pison, and the Artadi Viña El Pisón. These wines are all made from carefully selected grapes and are aged in French oak barrels for varying lengths of time.
Artadi is known for their commitment to biodynamic and organic winemaking practices, and they have been certified by Demeter and Ecocert.
