Conca de Barberá DO

Protected from the sea by the mountains, this denomination, long known for its white wines, is located in southern Catalonia, between the provinces of Tarragona and Lérida, in the basin carved out by the Francoli and Anguera rivers.

Producers in this DO are now beginning to diversify with new grapes to make both white and red wines. The future of these wines has great potential given the excellent qualities of the terrain and climate as well as the location of the vineyards and the investment being made in new equipment.

The vineyards are for the most part quite young, designed with modern cultivation for and meticulous care. Less promising varieties are increasingly being replaced by others of higher quality.

At present, a large proportion of the production from the vineyards in this denomination of origin, 5,094 hectares in total, is allotted to the production of base wine for Cava.
