VINOMI
Xarel·lo and red Xarel·lo, two similar but not identical grape varieties, give an unique personality to this wine with fruity aroma, intensity in the mouth, and with a dry but refreshing finish. A new look to the classic Penedès white wine.
The red Xarel.lo is a genetic mutation of the Xarel.lo. It is a practically extinct variety, which in the Penedès is found mainly in the central part, in the triangle formed by the municipalities of Vilobí, Granada and Les Cabanyes. It has a pink and thicker skin, which if harvested when well-ripened gives it greater aromatic complexity.
