Bodegas Franco Españolas

More than 125 years of history

Historically, the red wines of Rioja have been produced by mixing the native varieties present in the region: Tempranillo, Grenache, Carignan and Graciano. Across the 60,000-plus hectares of vineyards found throughout the Rioja region, each variety reaches its greatest potential based on the climate and soil type of the different areas that make up the Rioja PDO region: namely, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. For this reason, we use grapes from different areas, grown in our own vineyards or those of the small viticulturists with whom the winery has agreements dating back more than 30 years.
