{"title":"ARTADI","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtadi was founded in 1985 as a kind of mini-cooperative with a group of 13 local vine growers in Laguardia. Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle recognized the potential of these wonderful vineyards and purchased the Bodegas. He set off immediately to amend the philosophy and style of winemaking and in a very short time, Artadi became one of the leaders today in innovating the style of Rioja.  The winemaking is modern with an emphasis upon fruit driven wines, characterised by the terroir of individual vineyard sites. Attention to detail is evidenced at all stages of the process, from the pruning in the vineyard to the six additional sorting trays in the winery, then a fermentation in especially designed vats to ensure an optimum extraction of fruit and tannin. French oak is used, not American, allowing the principle variety, Tempranillo, eloquent natural expression. The results are completely outstanding. \u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"artadi-vinas-de-gain-tinto-2019-750ml","title":"ARTADI 'Vinas de Gain' Tinto 2019 (750mL)","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Intense and focused nose with ripe blackberries, dark strawberries, iron, wild herbs and spices.
