Can Sumoi La Rosa 2018

Can Sumoi is the new farm for natural wines by Raventós i Blanc.

Once they left D.O. Cava in 2012, they decided to find the most suitable place to make this type of wine. In Can Sumoi they found the best location. A 400-hectare farm located at 600 metres of altitude. It is planted with 20 hectares of vineyard, with native varieties Parellada, Sumoll and Xarello. This last one is in the process of being recovered. The farm also has 3 country houses from the 18th century and an old winery.

Here, Pepe Raventós, oenologist and winemaker, wishes to make natural wines with origin, extracting the true reflection of the land where they are born, and its landscapes. To achieve this, he cultivates the entire farm biodynamically. He makes his wines recovering rural traditions, and without adding any kind of oenological additive.

Can Sumoi La Rosa is a rosé wine made with Sumoll, Parellada and Xarello, from vineyards located at 550 metres of altitude on clayey-calcareous soils, planted in vase-shape.

After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and stomped gently in an inert atmosphere. This wine macerated for 4 hours with the skins. Then, the fermentation is carried out in stainless steel deposits at a controlled temperature, 16ºC, for with yeasts that are native to the vineyard. Once the alcoholic fermentation has ended, the wine goes through the malolactic fermentation spontaneously. It is bottled without stabilising nor filtering, and no oenological products are added to it.
