De Barro – Torrontés Riojano

We are Sañogasta — a village of clay, where the sun rests upon the earth and awakens it in silence. Here, our roots beat deeply like the voices of our elders, wise like the water learning to become wine.

This is how De Barro is born — a Torrontés Riojano made through biodynamic practices: fresh, bright, with floral and citrus aromas that express the essence of our landscape.

Introduction

Our project was born in 2017 under the name “Concepción – Sustainable Vineyards” in a small town in La Rioja called Sañogasta, with crystal spring waters, fertile soils and blue skies at the foot of Mount Famatina. From the beginning, our purpose has been to work with agriculture that respects the environment and the culture of its people; that is how we started with a strong commitment to sustainability. It is a family wine project focused on wine tourism, run by Luis and Mery, its owners, who have a deep connection with this land where we were born and raised.

Our Beginnings

In a place without a winegrowing tradition, we dared to dream and, as a gesture of gratitude for life and especially for the water we receive, we oriented the rows of our vineyard towards Mount Famatina. Once established, simply observing taught us to respect the crop cycles, and over the years we witnessed how the plants grew and developed. Today we know every portion of soil where they grow and are grateful for their fruit, which, in harmony with our way of working, helps us create genuine, unique and unrepeatable wines.

Our Products

We work only with manual tasks, accompanying the evolution of the crop throughout each yearly cycle. At harvest time, the main goal is to obtain the best possible quality of grapes, which comes from what we receive from nature and what we contribute as humans. During the winemaking process, together with our winemaker, we work with the concept of minimal intervention, seeking what we consider to be “honest wines”.

Welcome

We open our doors to share unique experiences among vineyards. We seek to constantly innovate without losing the essence, which is closeness in each visit. We invite you to experience a unique connection with nature and its surroundings through walks in the vineyard, picnics, tastings of our wines and regional food.

Label of Chango Guapo wine from Finca Concepción

On the Label

Our wines are a tribute to the tireless and loyal rural worker; they reflect identity, regional character and a deep bond with this place. This is expressed in our beautiful label created by Germán Abilar and Victoria Itoiz, where, in addition to the silhouette of the “chango”, the powerful sun of La Rioja, our mountains and the native vegetation (jarillas) stand out.

Introduction

Discover our “Chango Guapo” wines, in their Malbec and Cabernet Franc varieties, made with grapes grown under biodynamic practices. Here we see the estate as a living organism, where soil, plants, animals and people are interconnected and functioning as a balanced system.
