General Information
Ars Collecta Paraje Calificado La Pleta 2014 is a splendid cava handcrafted with the highest quality chardonnay grapes from the paraje. To prevent the oxidation of the primary aromas of the grape, it was harvested at night, in mid-August, manually. Once in the winery, the highest quality grapes are selected; these are cooled and pressed to ferment the resulting must in small tanks at a controlled temperature. After this process, another selection is made: only the musts of exceptional quality will compose the final coupage of the sensational cava La Pleta.
Ars Collecta is an innovative project by the Codorníu group, aimed at crafting magnificent cavas from exceptional vineyards in lesser-known and rich areas. They are true gems of the Alto Penedés that showcase the expertise of the Catalan winery and the mastery of its winemaker Bruno Colomer.
With fewer than 1,500 bottles, this Ars Collecta Paraje La Pleta 2014 is a sparkling wine under the D.O. Cava designation that aged slowly for more than 90 months in rima, achieving the excellence and complexity characteristic of the Ars Collecta project.
Paraje La Pleta 2014 is a gastronomic cava that pairs ideally with seafood and seasoned seafood dishes such as stews, marmitako, or bouillabaisse. It also pairs perfectly with rice dishes, braised meats, stews, and smoked dishes.
