Can Sumoi Garnatxa Sumoll 2024 is one of the high-altitude natural wines from Raventós i Blanc. The renowned Catalan winery focuses on creations free of artifices yet steeped in tradition, presenting Can Sumoi, their signature in the Tarragona lands of Bajo Penedès.
2012 marked a turning point for Raventós i Blanc. The Catalan giant left the D.O. Cava to begin a new chapter. This shift drove the Raventós family to embark on other projects, and Can Sumoi is undoubtedly one of the most interesting. Among the wines produced under this brand, Can Sumoi Garnatxa Sumoll 2024 is an intriguing red wine featuring Garnacha, alongside a grape that was on the brink of extinction in this area of the Bajo Penedès.
With its fresh acidity, meatiness, and hints of luscious red fruits, many have referred to Sumoll as “the Mediterranean Pinot Noir.” Currently, this variety is experiencing a certain resurgence thanks to wineries and winemakers committed to recovering the traditions and indigenous grapes of the region. This is the case with Can Sumoi. In crafting Can Sumoi Garnatxa Sumoll 2024, the winery selected the finest fruits cultivated on its namesake estate, a biodynamic farm dating back to 1645, with 30 hectares of vineyards located at 600 meters above sea level in the Tarragona municipality of El Montmell, at the foot of the Sierra de l’Home.
Minimal intervention in both viticulture and winemaking is one of the hallmarks of Can Sumoi. To produce Can Sumoi Sumoll, the grapes underwent destemming and crushing in an inert atmosphere, followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature ranging between 22 and 26 ºC. This process lasted 14 days. 80% of the wine rests for 9 months in tanks, while the remaining 20% matures in chestnut barrels. An additional three months of bottle aging result in a natural wine, an expression of a unique terroir, that surprises with its authenticity.
