General Information
Produced in the municipality of La Morera Del Montsant, in Tarragona, Scala Dei Pla Dels Àngels 2022 is a fine single-varietal rosé made from Garnacha from the D.O.Q Priorat. The grapes used come from young and old vineyards with north and east orientations, planted at an altitude between 500 and 600 meters on clay soils that preserve acidity and ensure freshness at the time of harvest.
The production of Scala Dei Pla Dels Àngels is distinguished by the meticulous effort of the winery, part of the Raventós Codorníu group, to preserve the aromatic qualities of the fruit. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were cooled to 2ºC, destemmed, and after 3 hours of maceration with the skins, the bleeding process began in the tank to achieve the characteristic pale rosé color. Once racked, the fermentation process was carried out as for a white wine. Four months in stainless steel tanks refined the wine before bottling.
Scala Dei Pla Dels Àngels 2022 reveals another side of Garnacha, a fruity explosion with delicate aromas that is highly versatile, both at the table and enjoyed on its own.
Creators' opinion
De color muy pálido, nos deja intuir que, aunque proceda de uva negra, se acercará más a un blanco. Reflejos azulados en el ribete, con un color rosado tenue en la herradura, y muy atractivo a la vista. Aromáticamente, es la sutileza de la fruta roja, fina y delicada como la vid de donde procede la uva, con notas cítricas que lo hacen fresco y que nos invitan a beber. Explosión de frescor y de sensaciones en boca donde destacan los sabores a fresas, y pomelo, seguidos de ecos anisados. Paso por boca refrescante y final envolvente que nos invita a volver a beber.
The winery
Located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Codorníu is the oldest producer of cavas in Spain, with origins dating back five centuries. The company is the seed of one of the most important wine groups in Europe, with fifteen iconic wineries spread across Spain, Argentina, and California, as well as 3,000 hectares of owned vineyards. It is the second-largest cava producer in Spain, with an output of 45 million bottles. Until the Carlyle group acquired the majority of its shares in 2018, it was the oldest family-owned business in the country. Behind it stand 18 generations of a family of winemakers.
The modern history of Codorníu began in 1872, when Josep Raventós Fatjó, after a trip to the Champagne region, produced his first cava using three local grape varieties (macabeo, xarel.lo, and parellada) following the traditional or 'champenoise' method of double fermentation. Since then, Codorníu has been producing its cavas in a group of buildings declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1976, designed in modernist style by architect Puig i Cadafalch. Codorníu exports nearly 45% of its production to almost a hundred countries worldwide.
