• STORY: In his standard work "La Casa de Lúculo" 90 years ago, the Spanish restaurateur Julio Camba called for turning away from mass consumption and appreciating genuine enjoyment. It is no coincidence that he refers to the Roman general and hedonist Lucius Licinius Lucullus. This is entirely in keeping with the spirit of winemaker Virginia Arranz.

• AGING: Hand-picked and sorted from vines over 90 years old in the Santa Eufemia vineyard. Aging in French oak barrels for 12 months.

• AROMA: Intense ruby ​​red colour. Intense aromas of fresh red fruits in combination with cherry liqueur and a hint of violets on the nose.

• EVALUATION: Pleasantly fruity, fresh and lively on the palate. Long-lasting fruity-floral finish.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Unique enjoyment even without a suitable meal. But its rich character also comes into its own in combination with hearty dishes.

In his standard work "La Casa de Lúculo" 90 years ago, the Spanish restaurateur Julio Camba called for turning away from mass consumption and appreciating genuine enjoyment. It is no coincidence that he refers to the Roman general and hedonist Lucius Licinius Lucullus. This is entirely in keeping with the spirit of winemaker Virginia Arranz. Your Bodega Casa de Lúculo is located in the extreme north of the DONAVARRA, where both the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean have an influence. Here she does an excellent job with the Garnacha Atlántica grape, which she describes as "the hidden gem of Navarre and the region's identity". The Lúculo wines come from the oldest Garnacha vines in Baja Montana, almost 100 years old, and express the unique character of this unspoilt region. The counterpart "Cátulo" reflects the fresh and untamed face of Garnacha and pays homage to the Roman philosopher Catullus. The winery is managed according to strict organic standards. The wild heart of the region beats unadulterated in every drop. It's all excitingly fresh, sexy, multi-faceted and authentic. Or as Julio Camba would say: the true desire for pleasure.
