2019 Art Installation Welcomes Visitors to the Viña Lanciano Vineyard for Logroño Design Festival

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 27, 2019 (New York, NY) – Bodegas LAN – known for its innovative winemaking in Spain’s Rioja region – is once again sponsoring Concéntrico, The Logroño International Festival of Architecture and Design for a third year. The 2019 installation, titled “Stairway to Heaven,” was created by Madrid architect Juan Llamazares Argüelles. As a winner of the competition, Llamazares will have his work featured in LAN’s Viña Lanciano vineyard in Rioja Alta. This extraordinary work will be a staircase that soars 26 feet above the vineyard, and the 360º panoramic vista is a celebration of the eternal beauty of the vineyards. Visitors are welcome to experience the work themselves from April 26 to May 1, 2019.

A 175-acre site planted to Rioja’s signature varieties, Viña Lanciano vineyard is one of the foremost sites in Rioja Alta and is wholly owned by Bodegas LAN. Within it, the winemaking team – led by María Barúa – follows sustainable practices promoting a living viticulture. “We work the soil in the long-term. We do not apply any mineral or chemical fertilizer, only organic amendment when necessary,” reveals María. “We never use herbicides or pesticides. The combination of this terroir with the varieties planted, the age, and handling of the vineyard result in inimitable grapes.”

The winery will also be releasing new vintages into market this year beginning with top estate wine, Viña Lanciano 2012, as well as classic wines, LAN Crianza 2015 and LAN Reserva 2012.
