The magic of Txakoli. A landscape of contrasts where sea and mountain meet.
Our wines
Our wines are a reflection of this region, this climate and this land, as well as the philosophy behind what we do. We are committed to diversification, to seeking out added value. Thus were born Txakolis such as Itsasmendi 7, the first Txakoli Crianza of the Designation ofOrigin, or Itsasmendi Urezti, the first late-season vintage, made from raisined Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie grapes that have been left to dry on the vine.
And the search for nuances never stops. We work with micro winemakers, individual vineyards, we experiment with local yeasts, etc. The greatness of our Txakoli is in its diversity.
The winery
Like the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve to which it belongs, Bodegas Itsasmendi is a winemaker in constant evolution; rich in diversity, natural and complex. The team’s restless, innovative spirit has given rise to a new concept for Txakoli, founded on respect for the environment. This new building, which represents the soil from which it emerges, is conceived as a living construction that will evolve naturally over the years, adapting to the space in which it was built.
