The wine artisan from Navarrete
Elena Corzana was born in the heart of La Rioja, in the charming village of Navarrete, where she grew up surrounded by vineyards and winemaking traditions that have been part of her life since childhood. Coming from a family with deep roots in viticulture, Elena spent her early years among the vines and barrels, learning the secrets of winemaking as if they were part of an ancient language. From a young age, she had a natural curiosity for the land and its fruits, devoting countless hours to exploring her family’s vineyards and learning the craft of viticulture from her grandfather Agapito.
Today, Elena Corzana embodies the spirit of artisanal La Rioja, where respect for tradition blends with innovation and a commitment to quality. Her winery in Navarrete is more than just a workplace; it is a reflection of her love for the land and her desire to preserve the authenticity of Rioja wines. Through her dedication and passion, Elena continues to write the most beautiful chapter of her story, honoring the legacy of her ancestors and sharing the magic of wine with all who have the privilege of tasting it.
