Our project was born in 2004, by the hand of Juan Glaria in Mendigorría (Navarra); specifically, in the Baja Montaña area of the Denomination of Origin of Navarra. In 2006, we joined our project to the Bodega de Mendigorría, where the aging in barrels is being carried out, as well as the bottling of our wines. It is an old cooperative winery from the 1950s, restored and renovated in all the elements of the production process, in order to convert it into a winery with modern facilities and traditional aesthetics.
In fact, this same year we launched our first red wine: Jardín de Lúculo, made from grenache grapes from old vineyards in the Baja Montaña area. Since then, we have continued to offer a unique experience throughout our Lúculo wines, resulting from the production of the best grenache of Navarra.
Subsequently, after five years of close collaboration in exports, in 2013 the Axial Vinos team became part of our winery. As a result, a new stage started in the story of Bodegas de la Casa de Lúculo. Launching a new young and fresh wine on the market, as well as fruity, which again transmits our philosophy: Cátulo.
LÚCULO’S WINES
At Bodegas La Casa de Lúculo, located in Mendigorría, (Navarra), we work small elaborations with selected grapes a la carte. As a result, creating our signature wines, Cátulo and Lúculo, always from the native variety of Navarra: the grenache.
The philosophy which we started this project with, is the same that continues to motivate the creation of our wines. Specifically, to carry out an elaboration that transmits the originality of the vines cultivated in the peculiar conditions of the Baja Montaña. Introducing, in addition with the climatic influence of the Pyrenees, new nuances in the elaborations and aging. Thus, to be able to extol the strong personality of the grenache grape.
