Codorniu – Cuvee Barcelona 1872
Cuvee Barcelona is made from the local grape varieties – Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada. They were accurately harvested from the vineyards located in the Penedes region.
This wine selection was created to honor the origins and memorialize the year when Josep Raventós created the first version of the Cava wine.
