Data of interest
Campillo (1990) is one of the wineries that marked the modernity of Rioja and one of the most representative wineries of Rioja Alavesa. Located in Laguardia, the heart of Rioja Alavesa, it is considered the ‘boutique’ and most exclusive winery of the Faustino Group: one of the major winemaking groups in the country, led by a centenary lineage. With Campillo, Julio Faustino Martínez fulfilled his dream of creating a winery inspired by the French ‘châteaux,’ as he pursued an innovative concept, with the vineyards surrounding the facilities. Additionally, Campillo was one of the first ventures into avant-garde architecture, and its impressive facilities remain highly relevant today.
Campillo aims to offer in its wines the maximum expression of tempranillo. To achieve this goal, the Faustino Group - now renamed as Familia Martínez Zabala - decided to establish this project in the area of Laguardia, where they acquired 50 hectares of vineyards. Later, they expanded this viticultural heritage with 50 more hectares near the Sierra de Cantabria. In total, 100 hectares of vineyards - distributed within a maximum distance of 10 km from the winery - are cultivated on poor soils that provide low yields of highly structured fruits with good acidity, perfect for crafting expressive wines capable of enduring long aging in oak and with great aging potential. Elegance, freshness, and a fruity profile perfectly integrated with barrel notes are the defining characteristics of their wines.
