WINE DESCRIPTION
Luberri Seis de Luberri Rioja embodies the essence of traditional winemaking in Rioja Alavesa, crafted by renowned producer Florentino Monje. This iconic wine is a testament to Monje's dedication to showcasing the purity and gastronomic richness of Basque terroir through Tempranillo. Made from grapes sourced from vineyards situated between 460 to 500 meters in Elciego village, the wine benefits from clay calcareous soils and organic farming practices. Luberri Seis is distinguished by its innovative use of semi-carbonic, whole-cluster maceration, a historic technique in the region dating back over two centuries. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts, the wine ages for six months in American oak barrels, imparting subtle complexity. With its balanced structure, vibrant fruit flavors, and a touch of oak, Luberri Seis de Luberri Rioja is a delightful expression of Rioja's winemaking heritage and Florentino Monje's pursuit of creating wines that bring joy to the palate.
