History: In 1987, Gonzalo Antón, together with a group of friends and businessmen from nearby Vitoria, started an innovative project in the deeper Rioja Alavesa. The town of Villabuena de Alava, where his family grew grapes, was chosen as the location for the innovative winery focusing on making fine wines. Gonzalo’s knowledge of hotels and restaurants soon made Izadi one of the most appreciated wines in gastronomic circles. At the same time, introducing new winemaking techniques and continuous improvements in quality set the house style over time.

El Regalo is the icon wine of Izadi. It is made from a singular plot of low-yield grapes planted before 1940 called “Finca El Regalo” in Villabuena de Alava.

Tasting Notes:

Dark cherry with a high and intense layer. It has a complex, powerful aroma with notes of ripe fruit, spices, and smoke. In the mouth, it is structured with ripe tannins and complexity.
