We all know the story of David and Goliath, recorded in the Bible. And even if we haven’t read it, we know what it means: it’s the victory of the small over the great. However, if we delve deeper into the subject, David had it won from the start. While the Philistine specialized in close combat, the human was a master of the sling, a long-range weapon. And that’s how he managed to win by imposing his strengths over those of his adversary.

Similarly, the historic Raventós i Blanc winery has established itself in the wine world for generations. Through its obsession with maximizing the balance of the estate, highlighting the small Conca del Riu Anoia appellation, it has earned international acclaim with wines and sparkling wines with a high mineral expression. Now it has struck again with the restoration of Can Sumoi, a forest and vineyard estate in the Serra de Montmell, in the Baix Penedès region (Catalonia), where natural wines are produced, stripped of artifice but steeped in tradition.

To achieve this, Can Sumoi is focusing on Sumoll, a variety on the verge of extinction in the Penedès region and known as the “Mediterranean Pinot Noir.” The Can Sumoi Sumoll-Garnatxa wine is paired with the native Garnacha variety. These grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of 600 meters, cultivated according to biodynamic principles, and fermented in the winery with minimal intervention in stainless steel tanks. The wine then remains in stainless steel tanks for 12 months and is finally bottled without stabilization, filtering, or adding any oenological products.

The result is Can Sumoi Sumoll-Garnatxa, a natural high-altitude red wine from the Penedès region, with a strong Mediterranean character and minimal intervention.
