Alta Alella 10, among “The magnificent 7”
The second day of Barcelona Wine Week hosted the exclusive tasting of “The Magnificent 7”, led by the journalist and sommelier Ramon Francàs. A unique tasting with 7 great sparkling wines with long ageing, including the Pujol-Busquets collectible cava Alta Alella 10 Gran Reserva.
Mireia Pujol-Busquets, owner of Alta Alella, joined Francàs and the 6 other cava producers to introduce Alta Alella 10, a sparkling wine “made with a ‘Gran vin’ philosophy and which shows the elegant passage of time”, she described.
After a short ageing, the Méthode Traditionelle Champenoise is applied with a minimum ageing period on lees of 10 years. This singular sparkling wine is the result of combining: Sauló soil from Can Genís Estate –a sandy granitic soil–, the exceptional and unique climate characteristics from Serra de Mar area, and many years of experience making high quality cavas.
