The knowledge of wine in Catalonia comes from afar, for years we have created and innovated in local techniques and instruments for its production, not only in terms of the terroir and grape varieties, but also in the winery, resulting in great wines. In this tasting, directed by Ferran Centelles, tools produced in Catalonia will be discovered and how they impact the style of the wine will be tested.
