The region is located between Barcelona and Tarragona, nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Catalan Coastal Range. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is precisely this location that ensures an enormous diversity: from the warm, Mediterranean-influenced coastal area to significantly cooler vineyards at altitudes of over 600 meters.

Together with Macabeu and Parellada, it forms the historical foundation for Cava and now also for Corpinnat. At the same time, a new generation of producers is demonstrating that Penedès is capable of much more than just sparkling wine: origin, individual soils, old vines, and still wines made from Xarel·lo are increasingly taking center stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistory and General Information – More than 2,700 Years of Viticulture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe history of viticulture in Penedès stretches far back. Archaeological finds document wine cultivation and production as early as the 7th century BC.

Around Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, one of the most important centers for traditional bottle fermentation outside of Champagne developed. For generations, Xarel·lo, Macabeu, and Parellada formed the classic varietal framework for this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor a long time, the name Cava was practically inseparable from Penedès.
