✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the creative vision of Spanish winemaker Gloria Collell, the Mia range by Freixenet was conceived to capture the youthful, sun-drenched spirit of Barcelona. This Fruity & Full-bodied red is a contemporary expression of Spain's signature Tempranillo grape. Sourced from warm, sun-soaked vineyards across Spain, the grapes undergo a careful temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve their intense primary fruit aromas rather than masking them with heavy oak. The result is an approachable, deeply colored red wine that celebrates the vibrant street life, colorful mosaics, and relaxed dining culture of its Mediterranean inspiration.
🍾 About the Producer
Freixenet trace its origins to 1914 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia through the union of two established winegrowing dynasties—the Sala and Ferrer families—following roots traced back to Casa Sala in 1861. Anchored in the Penedès depression within Catalonia, the estate harnesses a Mediterranean microclimate marked by warm, sun-drenched days, cooling maritime sea breezes, and diverse alluvial, limestone, and clay soils. Freixenet built its reputation pioneering modern temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation and traditional method sparkling winemaking at scale, championing the classic Catalan triumvirate of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada alongside select international cultivars. While best known internationally for ubiquitous benchmark cuvées like the matte-black Cordon Negro and semi-seco Carta Nevada, the house also crafts refined, terroir-focused expressions such as the artisanal Casa Sala Gran Reserva Brut Nature, Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut, and Cuvée D.S., reflecting both monumental production prowess and deep cellar aging traditions.
