If there's a winery that perfectly combines cutting-edge design, oenological innovation, and respect for winemaking tradition, it's Bodegas Baigorri. Located in the emblematic Rioja Alavesa region, this winery is a benchmark both for the quality of its wines and for its impressive architecture, designed by the prestigious architect Iñaki Aspiazu.
- A Winery Integrated into the Landscape:
The first thing that strikes you about Baigorri is its structure, which is completely integrated into the environment. From the surface, you only see a large glass box reflecting the Rioja landscape, but underground lies a complex system of seven subterranean levels designed to take advantage of gravity in the winemaking process.
This method allows the winemaking process to be 100% natural, without mechanical pumping that could alter the quality of the grapes, thus guaranteeing maximum purity and expression of the terroir.
