The Llevant wind brings the freshness and the nerve, the subtle humidity and the charm that surround the Cal Ferrando estate. Its east-facing vineyards offer a vibrant, complex and fine Malvasia. Its vinification and subsequent amphora ageing result in an elegant and lively personality. With the aim of preserving its aromatic intensity, the grape is harvested in the coolest hours of the morning. Next, a very gentle pressing is carried out at low temperature to preserve the subtle variety of the grape. The wine ages in ceramic amphora for 6 months in order to achieve a round and balanced palate.

Tasting note: It displays clean citrus and exotic fruit aromas. Complex and elegant on the nose, its palate is fresh, vibrant and intense, with distinctive mineral character.

Selected grapes from Cal Ferrando estate in the Alt Penedes region (Catalonia). It’s vines, oriented from north to south, are influenced by the Llevante wind. This fresh and humid sea breeze allows the temperature to be gently lowered on hot summer days.
