Official Information:
Since its foundation in 1885 by Mr. Felipe Lagunilla San Mart?n, Lagunilla has successfully specialized itself in the art of elaborating, breeding and commercializing wines. Its founder, from Cenicero, La Rioja, turned out to be one of the most important parties involved in the fight against phylloxera, enhancing the wine growing in this present region. As a result of it, he was given the title of "Comendador de numero de la Orden del Merito Agr?cola", graced by his majesty King Alfonso XIII in 1916.

Lagunilla has been one of the most prestigious family owned company from La Rioja until 1973, when Grupo Croft, property of UDV, multinational corporation Diageo beverages division took over the wine cellars, providing the company with both better and wider premises.

In 1995 Arco Bodegas Unidas acquired Lagunilla, thus, starting an ambitious plan of both modernization and globalization. In addition, the fact of counting with the five leading wineries of La Rioja, with more than 3000 hectares, allows us to directly supervise the whole wine making process and to enjoy of that unique flexibility from La Rioja.
