Certain wine varieties are so synonymous with a territory that in the long run, over the years, they end up being a metonymy: when you say xarello, everyone means Penedès. But saying is one thing, doing is another.
Finding out whether this wine manages to capture the genuine essence of the Penedès in a glass is reason enough to drink it, taste it, smell it and end up discovering that yes: that xarello is the Penedès because the Penedès is also salinity, it is also height, it is also forest and it is also the aromatic complexity that Can Sumoi’s Xarel·lo awakens in the nose and the seductive electricity it transmits to the palate, where the Penedès becomes wide, becomes fresh and still with a memory of aniseed fennel on the nose, it becomes wonderfully Mediterranean.
