Blue Label
Founded in 1896, Federico Paternina established this winery on a site with cellars excavated in the 16th century in Ollauri Rioja Alta.
Its origins date back to Eduardo de Paternina, father of Federico and Marqués de Terán, one of the pioneers of modern viticulture in Rioja at the request of his close friend the Baron de Rothschild, who years before had acquired the Château Brane Mouton.
