12/03/2025

The Government of La Rioja has awarded SANJOSE Constructora the execution Works of the new Regional Laboratory of La Rioja, designed to meet the current scientific and analytical (physical, chemical, and biological) demands of the region’s entire agri-food and winemaking value chain.

The new building will be designed to integrate seamlessly into its surroundings, with roofs following the natural slopes of the terrain to minimize visual impact. It will be organized into three technical levels: Ground floor: Houses the Plant Biology, Food, Livestock, and Special Laboratories. First floor: Accommodates the Food Chemistry and Production Laboratories. Second floor: Dedicated to the Residue Chemistry Laboratory.

The Regional Laboratory, under the Directorate-General for Rural Development of La Rioja’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural World, and Environment, provides essential analyses for the sector and environmental studies. It also offers direct support to the wine industry through soil and irrigation water analysis, disease and pest detection, and residue testing in wine. Additionally, the laboratory plays a significant role in training new graduates from the University of La Rioja.
