Anciano is produced by independent, family-owned Criadores de Rioja in Alberite, near Logroño. Founded in 1999, the estate is owned by the Vivanco family, whose Rioja winemaking history spans more than 100 years and four generations. Its vineyards are farmed using sustainable and organic practices, including selective pruning, hand-harvesting, and no pesticides or fertilizers. Winemaker Azucena Hervella oversees the production, reflecting the estate’s family-run approach and connection to Rioja.
