✨ Technical Specifications
Anna de Codorniu Brut Rosé pays tribute to the last heir of the Codorniu family dynasty, Anna, whose 1659 marriage to Miquel Raventós united two legendary winemaking families. This elegant Cava is crafted primarily from Pinot Noir, which lends its vibrant red fruit character and delicate salmon-pink hue, complemented by Chardonnay to add structure and freshness. Produced in the traditional method with aging on the lees in the historic cellars of San Sadurní d'Anoia, it represents a modern, fruit-forward expression of Spanish sparkling wine, balancing rich heritage with contemporary style.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its viticultural origins to 1551 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Codorníu stands as Spain's oldest documented wine enterprise and the cradle of Cava, catalyzed in 1872 when Josep Raventós Fatjó produced the nation's inaugural traditional-method sparkling wine. The estate is anchored by its modernist cellars, designated a National Artistic Historical Monument, designed by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Viticulturally, Codorníu encompasses diverse Catalan terroirs spanning the Mediterranean loam of the Alt Penedès, the continental alluvial terraces of Costers del Segre, and the slate and schist elevations of Conca de Barberà. In 2024, the house completed a transition across all estate vineyards to 100% certified organic farming. Under chief winemaker Bruno Colomer, vinification emphasizes variety-specific cold fermentation and extended lees contact in underground subterranean galleries. Benchmark expressions range from the pioneering Chardonnay-driven Anna de Codorníu to the single-vineyard Gran Reserva cuvées of the Ars Collecta collection, illustrating exceptional tension, crystalline minerality, and autolytic depth.
