    The 2021 Sumoll is a single-vineyard varietal wine that matured in a 500-liter chestnut barrel for 18 months. It's different from the one produced in 2018 that I tasted back in 2022. This comes from a head-pruned vineyard, called La Plana dels Horts, in Masllorenç at 275 meters above sea level, planted in 1975 on limestone, iron and clay soils. They have been fine-tuning the work with the grape, which is not easy to work with. They have been inspired by a trip to Piamonte, as they believe the grape is somewhat similar to Nebbiolo. They want a wine to drink now or keep for 10 to 15 years. This wine has a combination of primary and peachy notes and a rustic side too.
