Itsasmendi
Itsasmendi produces wines in Bierzo, the mountainous region of Castilla y León known for its distinctive terroir and white wine traditions. The winery focuses on Hondarrabi Zuri, a local variety that thrives in the region's cool climate and slate-rich soils. Leioa Paradisuak, their flagship expression of Hondarrabi Zuri, demonstrates the grape's mineral precision and aromatic character. The winery also crafts 7, a blend of Hondarrabi Zuri and Riesling that marries regional identity with international varieties, and Leoia Parcelario, which showcases a selection of Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratia. Both Wine Advocate and Decanter have rated these wines, reflecting their standing among serious white wine producers in northwest Spain.
