Maria Rigol Ordi, C/Fullerachs, 9 Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Barcelona (Spain)
If we are looking for a sparkling wine that is classic method but pleasantly fresh and drinkable, this might be the right bottle to choose. This is a Spanish Cava, produced by Maria Rigol Ordi's winery. A new generation of Catalan winemakers, Ordi cultivates his vineyards organically. This Cava Brut Nature Ecological, in particular, comes from 45 percent Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada, after a 15-month aging period on the lees. Pale in color, with a fun and playful bubble, this Cava plays all on verticality. It is, in fact, a pleasantly citrusy sparkling wine with immediate hints of fresh fruit, pear, apricot and peach. As the minutes pass, and with oxygenation, it gains more intensity and sweeter notes reminiscent of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, also make their appearance. In the mouth, same vertical feel, with herbaceous notes and some hints of yeast. The finish, then, is very refreshing and not overly persistent. It is a great alternative, for those who do not want to limit themselves to "made in Italy" drinking. Excellent as an aperitif, thanks to its minimal dosage, it can also safely accompany fish or white meat dishes.
Maria Rigol Ordi and her son, Francesc Manobens, began producing Cava in the early 1980s. Initially it was a modest enterprise that was essentially exhausted in the cellar of their house in the village of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. The goal, however, beyond numbers, was immediately to produce quality sparkling wine, reviving the old family traditions. Today as then, the Cava of the Ordi house are made by applying the highest quality standards, starting with the use of strictly "flower" musts, that is, only the fruit of the first pressing. The main varieties used are those typical of tradition, thus Macabeu, Xarel-lo and Parellada, but over the years new experiments have also been prepared aimed at creating monovarietal Cava and cuts with new varieties.
