Without oenological additives or prior filtering, Can Sumoi Ancestral Montònega 2024 is one of the two natural sparkling high-altitude wines crafted by Pepe Raventós in the D.O. Penedès. Authenticity and tradition.

Can Sumoi Ancestral Montònega 2024 is the new vintage of one of the two sparkling wines crafted by Can Sumoi, the new winery of Raventós i Blanc in Penedès. It is a wine made from parellada grapes, a variety also known as montònega. The Catalan winery cultivates it in goblet-trained vineyards on clay-limestone soils at an altitude of 600 meters, at the foothills of the Sierra de l'Home, in the Tarragona municipality of El Montmell.

This privileged location endows the grapes with high acidity and freshness, which the subsequent vinification in the winery preserved. After the manual selection of the best parelladas, Can Sumoi proceeded with destemming and gentle pressing in an inert atmosphere. Maceration with the skins lasted for 4 hours, and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature with the vineyard's native yeasts. Can Sumoi Ancestral Montònega 2024 was rounded off in the bottle until its release to the market, resulting in a light and easy-to-drink wine with intense aromas of ripe white fruit and floral notes, and an elegant bubble.

Winemaker
Can Sumoi is the new winery from Raventós i Blanc, exclusively dedicated to the production of natural wines. Born from the growing passion of Pepe Raventós and Francesc Escala for this type of winemaking, the estate, which also gives its name to the project, is located in El Montmell, in the Bajo Penedés, at the foot of the Serra de 'l’Home, in a setting nestled at 600 meters above sea level.

Coinciding with their departure from the D.O. Cava in 2012, the Raventós family discovered this 400-hectare property, which had housed a biodynamic farm since 1645, and chose it to produce their high-altitude natural wines. The raw material comes from 30 hectares of vineyards, planted with the local varieties parellada, xarel·lo, and sumoll, on mineral soils with sediments and marine fossils dating back 113 million years.

In this privileged environment, Pepe Raventós aims to go further. The Catalan winemaker is firmly committed to biodynamic viticulture and naked wines, crafted according to rural traditions, reflecting their origin, without any enological additives.
