Pere Ventura

Pere Ventura Chic Barcelona Cava Brut is a classic Cava from the Penedès region, made from 35% Macabeo, 35% Xarel·lo, and 30% Parellada. The grapes are hand-harvested and reflect the diversity of the region’s soils, which give the Cava its complex character.After hand-harvesting, the grapes are destemmed, cooled to 4 °C, and gently pneumatically pressed. The first fermentation takes place separately by variety in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16–18 °C. After blending, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the traditional method. The Cava then ages on its lees for at least 11 months, which adds depth and creates a fine, persistent effervescence.On the nose, Chic Barcelona is lively, with aromas of citrus fruits, lime, and green apple. On the palate, it is elegant and full of character, with notes of white fruit and a pleasant, refreshing acidity. Its clear greenish-yellow color with golden hues and its fine, long-lasting effervescence underscore its fresh and precise style.As a sophisticated aperitif, this cava is an excellent choice to start a dinner. It also pairs beautifully with seafood, savory tarts and quiches, and fresh salads.
