Amancio
In Rioja, Amancio is less a brand than a family name spoken out loud. The Eguren family dedicated it to their grandfather, and tied it to one place: Finca La Veguilla, near San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja. The wine is built on Tempranillo from clay‑limestone soils, with patches of fine pebbles on the surface—ground that stores heat yet lends a firm, chalky grip. Viñedos Sierra Cantabria treats the site in a parcel‑first mindset: strict selection, low yields, and patient élevage meant to let the vineyard lead.
The estate describes its farming as biodynamic, signalling attention to living soils rather than cellar tricks. Style is shaped through parcel selection, gentle extraction and an élevage that privileges structure over effects. It is typically raised for about two years, polishing the tannins without blurring the site.Amancio
