Food Pair: Brisket
Brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel (ARTU-KE → Artuke) are at the forefront of the new Rioja movement, focusing on village wines and vineyard specificity rather than the traditional crianza/reserva hierarchy. Pies Negros comes from organic, high-altitude vineyards in Ábalos and Baños de Ebro, where limestone soils and cooler nights bring lift and clarity. Fermented with native yeasts and a proportion of whole bunches, it’s aged in older French oak to keep the emphasis on fruit purity. The 2023 is supple and energetic, showing red and black berries, gentle florals, spice and fine chalky tannins. It’s a vibrant, modern Rioja that captures the brothers’ philosophy of transparency, precision and a Burgundian mindset applied to Tempranillo.
