Artuke Tinto 2024 - Artuke

Artuke Tinto - Artuke 

Artuke Tinto is a wine that comes from the picturesque village of Baños de Ebro, known for its ideal soils for viticulture. With a composition of 95% Tempranillo and 5% Viura, it perfectly reflects the terroir of the region, located at an altitude of 420-550 meters above sea level, with clay-limestone and sandy soils that give uniqueness to the product. Whole bunch fermentation with carbonic maceration allows to enhance the fruity characteristics of the grape, creating a rich and complex aromatic bouquet. Aging in concrete tanks for eight months helps to maintain the freshness of the fruit, avoiding the interference of wood and allowing the wine to best express its qualities. The aromatic profile is dominated by notes of black raspberries and licorice, while on the palate it is soft, round and juicy, with excellent balance and a clean finish. The contribution of the Viura, a white grape variety, contributes to the freshness of the wine, making it very versatile. Artuke Into is a wine that offers an excellent quality-price ratio, ideal for those looking for a fruity and well-balanced red, perfect to enjoy on different occasions.

La Rioja is undoubtedly one of the most famous and recognized wine regions in Spain. Its reputation is built on a combination of tradition and innovation, which is reflected in the variety and quality of the wines produced. The story of Cesareo de Miguel and his vineyard is emblematic of how passion and determination can prevail, even when others doubt. The setting of La Rioja, with its unique climate and spectacular landscapes, helps create a favorable terroir for viticulture. The bush vines and the presence of the Sierra Cantabria, which protects the area from Atlantic influences, are key elements that allow for high-quality grapes, such as Tempranillo, which is the region's flagship grape. The transition of the de Miguel Blanco family towards wine production is an example of how new generations can reinterpret tradition. Arturo and Kike's choice to focus on organic viticulture and modern winemaking methods, while maintaining a connection with the practices of the past, demonstrates a respectful approach to the land and a vision projected towards the future. The wine "Finca de los Locos" is not only a tribute to their grandfather, but also represents the essence of an entire family and their dedication to the land and viticulture. La Rioja, with its variety of styles and the richness of its wines, continues to be an unmissable destination for wine lovers and for those who want to discover the beauty of Spanish culture.
