About

This is a dry red wine, a blend of Sumoll (≈60 %) and Garnatxa/Garnacha, from the DO Penedès, Catalonia, Spain. Hand-picked from organic biodynamic vineyards, fermented unfiltered and unstabilized. Refreshing acidity, mineral character and a slightly bitter finish. Serve chilled at 12–14 °C.

Producer

Pepe Raventós is the current owner of the excellent house that produces Cava, already in the 21st generation. Can Sumoi is a Pepe's new project that cultivates the best family traditions in relation to vines and land. The Can Sumoi property is in the heart of the Penedés region. It dates back to 1645 and is located at an altitude of 600 m overlooking the Serra de l'Home in the eastern Mediterranean. The ancient and unique soils here are planted with local grape varieties.

Tasting notes

Dry, medium-bodied red with notable freshness and refined minerality. Aromas of wild berries, red fruits, and subtle Mediterranean herbs. The palate delivers crisp berry fruit, savory undertones, with a slightly bitter hint on the finish. Smooth and well-balanced.

Pairing

Can Sumoi is a project of Raventós i Blanc based in the Penedès region of Catalonia. The team practices organic and biodynamic farming on stony, limestone soils at about 600 m elevation. The wines are produced with minimal intervention: no filtration or stabilization, very low sulfur (≤30 mg/l), indigenous yeast fermentations, and native grape varieties

Catalunya

All products from this region

In Catalonia, DO status was first created in 1999, and it became the first regional production area in Spain, which united all vineyards not included in any of the 11 existing DOs at that time. The capital of Catalonia is Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain with one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean. Its seaside location has certainly contributed to the development of local winemaking. Catalonia has a wide variety of winemaking traditions. It is believed that the skills of viticulture were first introduced by the Phoenicians and Greeks around 400 BC. e. The Romans then expanded viticulture and the industry flourished until the Moorish occupation. Then the vineyards were abandoned or given for other purposes. Later Christians revived viticulture in the territories adjacent to the monasteries. Until the end of the 18th century, wine and spirits were among the most important exports in the region. Since then, Catalonia has established itself as a dynamically developing wine region.
