Arzuaga Navarro Wineries
Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro is a family-run winery in Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), in the Ribera del Duero DO, along the road connecting Aranda and Valladolid, in the heart of the appellation's "Golden Mile". Its history began in the early 1990s, when Florentino Arzuaga purchased the La Planta estate and began planting vines, building the winery, and making his first wines.
The house's philosophy can be summarized in three principles: soil, climate, and orientation. La Planta is a natural area of around 1,400 hectares where vineyards, pine forests, holm oaks, and savin trees coexist with deer and wild boar, reflecting the family's connection to nature.
Vineyards in Ribera and La Mancha
Arzuaga has around 210 hectares of vineyards in the surroundings of the winery and the La Planta estate. It mainly grows Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The soils are poor and the Castilian climate harsh, with sunny days and cool nights, resulting in slow ripening and low yields. Outside Ribera, the family makes Pago Florentino at the La Solana estate in Malagón (Ciudad Real), which was recognized as a Vino de Pago in 2009.
