Can Sumoi Winery

Can Sumoi is the project of Pepe Raventós (Raventós i Blanc) that arises from his passion for natural wines and his desire for research. After exploring the Penedés in search of high-altitude land, he finally finds it in Coll de les Ventoses, on a hill that rises 600 meters above sea level: Sierra de l’Home, with a unique geology that gives the final product a unique character. There, he has revived a biodynamic farm that has existed in Can Sumoi since 1645, where natural high-altitude wines are now produced with minimal intervention in their viticulture and winemaking processes.

Penedés D.O.

The land of the Penedés D.O. is wide and open, extending along a large strip of territory between the sea and the mountains, halfway between Barcelona and Tarragona.

In the heart of the Catalan Prelitoral Depression, between the Prelitoral Range and the small plains of the Mediterranean coast, the vineyards of Penedés ripen. The Denomination of Origin is made up of three distinct areas: the Superior Penedés (near the Prelitoral Range), the Maritime Penedés (along the sea and in the Litoral Range), and the Central Penedés (between the other two areas).

The region has a great diversity of microclimates, resulting from its coastal proximity and altitude. The climate is typically Mediterranean, meaning mild and warm. The area of Maritime Penedés (Baix Penedès and Garraf) is more temperate due to the influence and proximity of the sea. The Superior Penedés (Alt Penedès, Alt Camp, Anoia, and Baix Llobregat) enjoys more frequent rainfall and greater contrast between maximum and minimum temperatures. The Central Penedés (mainly Alt Penedès) is a combination of both microclimates.
