Can Sumoi - Sumoll Garnatxa 2023

Can Sumoi is the new collaboration between Pepe Raventós and childhood friend Francesc Escala: The 400-hectare estate of Can Sumoi sits at six hundred meters of altitude in the Serra de l’Home range in the Penedès. Its 350-year-old farmhouse and stone walls accommodate thirty hectares of old Montonega, Xarel-lo and Sumoll vines; stands of oak and white pine shade the rest of the surface.

The vines are cultivated on limestone soils in certified-organic fashion and the resulting wines are produced without additives, stabilization or filtration (although no sulfur is added, trace amounts remain in the wines as natural fermentation by-product). They show low alcohol and refreshingly brisk acidity.

50% Sumoll, 50% Garnatxa, sourced from 20-50 year-old inves on poor clay-limestone soil at 600m altitude. Destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeast in tank with 15 days of maceration. Raised 12 months in tank—no oak, bottled with minimal sulfur.
