Bodegas Lezcano Lacalle
REINVENTING TRADITIÓN. A NAME WITH HISTORY.
So many years listening to passionate stories about the family Lezcano - Lacalle and by strange circumstances of life, never in the last twenty years of our experience in the world of wine we've had the opportunity to meet the Winery Félix Lezcano - Lacalle.
His father was the creator of the D.O. Cigales and from his youth he wanted to continue linked to the world of wine.
Winemaker training and great cook by hobby, Felix wanted to revolutionize the Cigales.
And he did it………
An area that it has always been known for its excellent rosé wines, Felix was convinced that he could develop red wines for saves.
The enthusiasm and the perseverance soon had its reward and fortunately for DO Cigales, Felix opened a path and demonstrated to the world that he can not only make red wines of saved, but also very GREAT RED WINES.
