CELLERS ALSINA SL ALSINA & SARDÀ

Our beginnings in grape growing can be traced back to 1894, at the estate of Cal Janes, in the municipality of El Pla del Penedès. In those days vine growers produced their own wines, which were then sold to traders. While we had been focusing on still wines, in 1982 we entered the world of cavas producing our first bottles in the small family cellar in Ca l'Avi ( Subirats). In a short period of time the volume of production increased so much that we had to expand our facilities, so in 1985 we started to operate from our current premises in Les Tarumbes( El Pla del Penedès). . Our experience tells us that to produce a wine with personality, grapes need to have enough time and space to physically fulfill their natural cycle. A low yield, organic farming and the optimum ripeness are some of our essentials. . Ageing duration is a fundamental variable in our cavas. This slow evolution takes place under the shelter of the darkness and coolness that can be found underground, where our bottles lie to five birth to a cava of the utmost quality.
