Rioja DOCA Vina El Pison Artadi 2008
The wine
This mineral and fruity Tempranillo varietal reflects the complexity of its terroir to perfection. Prominent red berry notes coat the palate, and its nicely acidic structure evolves towards the refined. To achieve its Crianza classification, this Rioja is barrel-aged for at least 24 months, including six months in small oak casks.
About the Producer Artadi
The Artadi domaine was established in 1985 by Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle in Laguardia (in the Rioja region). The vineyard consists of 70 hectares of vines and is located at approximately 630 metres above sea level. Artadi earned itself an international reputation in the 1990s and belongs to the group of domaines which have been instrumental in reviving the fortunes of Rioja, notably by adopting more environmentally friendly practices (small organically managed parcels). Its wines stand out on account of their intense fruitiness and the hint of freshness which they owe to altitude, and regularly feature among the top Spanish wines.
