Vineyard: The estate is planted only with local grapes.

The soils of the estate were developed from copper-coloured, ochre and brown material which corresponds to the Montmell Formation, which is made up of sediment formed between 100 and 113 million years ago in the Cretaceous period; there are few soils as ancient as these on the Iberian Peninsula.

Xarello is the variety that best represents the Penedés, which shows best our terroir, a shy variety with many aromatic nuances that surprise over time. Vinified without intervention, without aging, for the most sincere expression of the variety.

Winemaking: Our mission at Can Sumoi is the production of natural high altitude wines with the least intervention in all viticulture and winemaking processes. Manual harvest and all pressed in the cellar. Manual harvest and all pressed in the cellar. Production of pure wines following the minimum intervention protocol without oenological or sulfur additives. Native yeasts.

Tating Notes: Notes of aromatic Mediterranean plants, anise flavor, fruit and white flowers; In the mouth it is structured, glyceric, fresh and with a bitter characteristic touch.

    Decant this wine into springtime scents of apple blossoms and full-on apple-flambée notes. It’s floral, but there’s nothing aggressive about the scent as it transitions to pure white fruit—buttery white peach and roasted sweet corn—giving a gentle mouthwatering impression that’s completely dry.
