Can Sumoi
Description
Data of interest
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.
