ELEGANTLY ELEVATED BUBBLES

Origin

This wine’s essence comes from high-altitude vineyards located predominantly in Penedès. Most are located in Santa Maria de Miralles in the subzone of d’Alts d’Ancosa at 550 metres above sea level. The altitude of the vineyards gives the grapes greater acidity and freshness – both essential factors needed to counteract the effects of climate change.  

DO Catalunya

The Catalunya Designation of Origin stretches across a broad strip of the northeastern peninsula, spanning from the gentle Mediterranean coasts to the foothills of the Pyrenees. This expanse encompasses the diversity of landscapes and microclimates that define Catalonia, where the vineyard has become an essential and inseparable element of the region’s culture and environment. The territorial breadth of DO Catalunya reflects the richness and winemaking tradition of the area, integrating the variety and unique character of its wines.
