2021 Alemany i Corrio 'Cargol Treu Vi' Xarel·lo Barcelona

Winemaker Notes:  Cargol Treu Vi is a white wine produced in Penedès by Alemany i Corrio in Villafranca del Penedès, Barcelona. Irene Alemany and Laurent Corrio met in Burgundy while studying oenology. Their passion for the wine-making world inspired them to found Penedès’ first garage winery in 1999.

Cargol Treu Vi’s vineyard is located in the Garraf mountain range, with over 70 year old strains planted on limestone soils, which provides the wine with minerality and saltiness.

After harvesting the grapes, they are pressed and the must ferments in 300 litre barrels. It is left to rest on its lees for 12 months.

Cargol Treu Vi is a white wine that combines acidity and the land’s freshness with a body provided by the vinification process and period spent ageing on its lees. A complete wine with a low production, since they only produce 1200 bottles.
