Producer/Region:
At Vallformosa, they collaborate to care for and conserve the areas and their indigenous varieties. In the highest area of the Penedès, 500 metres above sea level. The Mediterranean highlands, where the vineyards are known as the “+500 area”. The grapes from theses mountainous parcels ripen more slowly thanks to the day and night temperature contrast, enhancing the wines’ organoleptic qualities.
Vinification: Cap de Pera DO Terra Alta
The harvest is carried out manually, at the optimal point of ripeness, which occurs between the end of September and the beginning of October.
Maceration is carried out in stainless steel tanks for two weeks, with daily pump-over to extract all the color and aromas from the varieties. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 22ºC and, subsequently, a second fermentation, the malolactic fermentation, is performed.
