Throughout our more than 45 years of history, we have been faithful to our basic principle: “that winemaking starts with vine growing.” This pioneering vision of the care for the raw material and the importance of the origin has formed part of LAN’s DNA to the present day.
Respect for the vineyard ecosystem has been and continues to be, the top priority in our value stream and a constant guide for the work of our field team and the technicians in the winery.
Today we are going to talk about a process that all the wines produced in Bodegas LAN go through after spending time in barrels: bottle ageing.
Once bottled, wine undergoes a natural evolution with important changes influenced by the reductive environment that it finds itself in. Wine improves during this stage and becomes more complex and elegant.
The last few days have been very cold across Spain and many landscapes and vineyards, including Viña Lanciano, have been blanketed with snow. Contrary to what many people think, heavy snowfall actually has a positive affect on vine growth and health.
The term sulphite is a concept that is often mentioned by wine enthusiasts when referring to sulphur dioxide (SO2). It is a preservative that is used frequently in the production of wine and other foodstuffs, due to its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. We can find it on food labels under the numbers E-220 to E-228.
One of the natural processes that shape the personality of the wines that come from our Viña Lanciano estate is malolactic fermentation in barrel.
The city of Logroño hosted recently the third edition of CONCENTRICO, the Arts and Architecture festival that invites us to rediscover corners of our town with some historical and cultural interest. A different way of touring places that usually go unnoticed; transformed into unique locations.
