Leco Punk Organic Rioja

Punk was born in the 1970s as an independent cultural movement. It was a critical counterculture discourse that focused on non-conformity and independence along with do-it-yourself views. Half a century later the movement still resonates, and in wine as well. Leco Punk reflects these ideals. This wine is produced with minimalist organic agriculture and expresses a unique identity with the full blast varietal flavors of the Tempranillo grape from Rioja. It refuses to conform or sell-out!
