The red Sumoll 2016 Collita Roja was produced with grapes from five or six old vineyards planted by their grandparents in the north of Penedès in the villages of Torrelavit, Sant Lloren? d'Hortons, Piera and La Llacuna. In 2016, they selected the grapes from a centenary plot in Ponnou and another one planted in 1949 in Can Canals on sandy soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barriques, concrete and stainless steel for six months. This is perfumed and aromatic, with violets and blood orange, spicy and smoky. They have been fine-tuning the use of oak, because the grape is quite sensitive to wood. But this is still from another era, and they have now started purchasing oak vats and foudres, because they realized the oak had to be used and they really needed larger sizes. 2016 was very warm and very dry and it was a generous crop, but the wines show the ripeness. I tasted a bottle of the 2011 that had more oak, but the wine was still lively. 4,000 bottles were filled in June 2017.
