Owned by Florentino Martinez Monje, Luberri is located in Elciego in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. A farmer at heart, Florentino was the original winemaker at Artadi before establishing his own winery in 1992. Florentino is hands-on at the winery, working on all aspects of production, but his true love is working in the vineyards. All the plots are farmed with minimal treatment of the soils and vines. Vineyard sites are separately fermented and vinified. By keeping yields low Florentino extracts grapes with great concentration and flavor. That attention to detail makes for a wine that has a rich mouthfeel full of sweet supple fruit and complementary spicy wood tones (the wines spends around six months in barrel).
