BODEGAS COVILA LA RIOJA, SPAIN

Bodegas Covila was founded in 1989 by sixty vineyard owners is a micro cooperative located in Lapuebla de Labarca in the heart of Rioja Alavesa wine region, in the Basque Country, northern Spain. This small town is situated on the north bank of the Ebro River south of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains. Because the vineyard owners have been making their own wines for generations, very old, small vineyards with low vine density that would have been replanted in other areas of Rioja are still being cultivated. Bodegas Covila is known for making fresh, fruity and structured wines with deep color, balanced acidity and sweet tannins that age gracefully.
