General Information
Izadi El Regalo Viñedo Singular 2022 is a magnificent gift for lovers of Rioja wines. The old Tempranillo vines planted in the clay-limestone and pebble soils of the Finca El Regalo give rise to this signature red wine, which, once blended, spent 14 months aging in French oak barrels.
Izadi is one of the wineries that are part of the prestigious group Artevino Family Wineries, which also includes Orben (also in Rioja), Finca Villacreces (Ribera del Duero), and Bodegas Vetus (Toro). Founded in 1987 in Villabuena de Álava, one of the three towns that form the so-called ‘golden triangle’ of Rioja Alavesa, the winery bases its philosophy on using the highest quality grapes, respecting tradition and the vineyard, and a strong connection with gastronomy, which ensures its wines boast an attractive, elegant, and balanced style, much appreciated by both the public and critics. This is the case with this Izadi El Regalo 2022 that we recommend to you.

The winery
Founded in 1987 by Gonzalo Antón, Izadi belongs to the second wave of wineries that, in the 1990s, placed Rioja at the forefront of modernity, with a philosophy that prioritizes viticulture, terroir, and vineyard care: the grape as the foundation and main protagonist.
Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, within the triangle formed by Villabuena, Lapuebla, and Samaniego, Izadi produces wines praised by international critics. It has 187 hectares of vineyards (70 of them owned), distributed across small plots, each with its own unique characteristics and subject to meticulous monitoring. These are old vineyards with high-quality production and low yields. Following this, the winemaking process is based on grape selection and careful, measured aging in barrels from the most renowned oak forests and cooperages.
Izadi was the original winery of the Grupo Artevino, now led by Lalo Antón, son of Gonzalo.
