Summary
The Luberri winery is located in the village of Elciego, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa where they farm 35ha of old-vine tempranillo, along with some white viura and malvasia. Their vineyards are located principally between the important wine-growing villages of Elciego and Laguardia, extending to La Puebla de Labarca and Villabuena de Álava.
Along with his wife María José, they started their family winery in 1991. All the plots are farmed ecologically, with each individual vineyard site fermented and vinified separately, so e,ssentially all of the wines from Luberri are single-vineyard expressions. Florentino is also responsible for inventing his own trellising system, designed specifically for the conditions of Rioja Alavesa.
The next generation at Luberri is led by Florentino’s two daughters Miren and Laura, with Laura’s husband Carlos taking on a key role in the cellar, ensuring Luberri will be a family affair for generations to come..
