Rioja, a distinguished wine region in northern Spain, is divided into three unique sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Baja, and Alavesa.
Rioja Alta, with its high elevation and Atlantic influence, produces elegant and complex wines. 
In contrast, Rioja Baja, with a Mediterranean climate and lower elevation, yields bolder, richer wines. 
Rioja Alavesa strikes a balance between the two, creating wines with both elegance and structure.
This region is famous for its signature grape, Tempranillo, and its blend of tradition and innovation has made it a renowned wine-producing area.
