SINCE 1940

la rioja

The municipality of San Asensio is perched atop a hillside in the heart of La Rioja Alta, overlooking the Ebro and Najerilla valleys. Bodegas Fernández Gasco is located in this locality, in an incomparable setting with an ideal climate and soil for cultivating vines. The combination of these two factors makes for this excellent quality wine. The name “Rioja” is synonymous with wine; the mere mention of the name “Rioja” brings to mind fields brimming with vineyards. It is not only famous within Spain but also beyond our borders.

the vineyards

The vines are the key element and have several periods of development. It is crucial that vines are pruned leaving 4 or 5 basal buds per arm to ensure optimum production. Essential phytosanitary treatments are applied to combat diseases that may affect the vines and guarantee the quality of the end product. The leaves covering the grape bunches are removed to aerate the grapes and prevent diseases, which can be a problem in the short-to-medium term. Weeds can grow in the soil next to the vines. We do not use herbicides; the land is simply cultivated with ploughs and rippers.

 

Production is controlled in late August, carefully inspecting all stock and keeping production to a minimum in order to achieve the finest grapes and thus ensure the final product reflects four seasons of work and dedication.
