PRODUCTION: Artadi Viña El Pisón wine is made from Tempranillo grapes, organically grown on a single, carefully selected estate of just 2.5 hectares. This vineyard is located at an altitude of over 500 meters and features very old vines (planted in the 1940s) on the clay and limestone soils of the Álava town of Laguardia. The harvest is done by hand, with meticulous selection of the best bunches and berries in the vineyard, using small 14-kilogram crates for transport. Once at the winery, the bunches undergo a second inspection on a sorting table and are then stored in open oak vats, where they undergo cold maceration for 48 hours before pressing. The resulting must ferments with its own natural yeasts for approximately 11-13 days (undergoing daily punch-downs and pump-overs throughout the process). Finally, the wine is aged in new French oak barrels, where its second fermentation (malolactic) takes place and its subsequent aging for 12 months before bottling.
