Barcino Cava Belle Epoque
Suggested Food Pairings:
Vinos Atlántico (previously CVA) was founded in 2002 with the purpose of uniting the winemaking heritage of Alberto Orte and Patrick Mata’s families. Both of their families have been producing wine, independently, throughout Spain since the late 1800s. It currently produces wines in 18 different appellations within the Iberian Peninsula. Its fundamental mission is to discover new production areas, unique soils and to recover native varieties, always in search of great vineyard-sites that can produce consistently superior wines compared to neighboring vineyards.
Sparkling wine and bubbly lovers have discovered what an incredible value Cava is -- a wine made in the same way as Champagne, with a second fermentation in the bottle. If you like bright, zesty citrus flavors and the fine bubbles of Champagne, try Barcino Cava! Fermented in the bottle and aged for 12 months on the lees before release, this wine is the best of both worlds. It consistently delivers premium flavors and for the price of a regular bottle of Brut Non-vintage French Champagne you can take home three or four bottles of this gem.
Tasting Notes
This crisp, delicious, dry sparkler spent 12 months on its lees. Attractive notes of honeyed brioche, poached pear and caramelized grapefruit jump from the glass of this zesty, light-bodied, exceptionally well-crafted, pure, fresh cava.
Food Pairing
This Cava pairs well with small plates, mezza and tapas! It has more than enough substance and interest to be an excellent aperitif on its own.
