Pircas Negras are the organic wines produced by La Riojana Cooperativa, a 550 farmer member co-op. Every year, La Riojana buys more land for certified organic farming in order to keep up with the demand for organic wines. Profit sharing is also distributed amongst all members of the co-op, raising the standards of living for the indigenous farmers of the vast Famatina Valley.

All six varietals are incredibly versatile; fruit forward, modest and consistent. The reds have light, supple tannins and are only slightly aged in oak, making them ideal for summer cuisine such a BBQ and burgers. The whites are fresh and bright, mouth-watering and pair well with foods with an array of flavors such as sushi, Pad Thai and any pasta dish.
