ABOUT THIS WINE
Celler La Salada was founded by Toni Carbó and Anna Serra in El Pla del Penedès, Catalonia. Toni established the estate on historical family land to honor his grandfather and great-grandfather who worked as sharecroppers. The vineyard plots, once considered the poorest and least fertile, have never been treated with synthetic chemicals, herbicides, or pesticides. Roig Boig, meaning 'Crazy Red' in Catalan, is a multi-varietal field blend that pays homage to traditional peasant winemaking, capturing a pristine micro-terroir in a vibrant, low-intervention expression.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Crafted using the ancestral method, this sparkling wine is a co-ferment of local red and white Catalan varieties. Grapes are hand-harvested on the same day. Ninety percent of the fruit is directly pressed, while ten percent of the red grapes undergo a very short maceration to achieve a delicate blush color. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in neutral stainless steel tanks without temperature control. The wine is bottled during the final phase of primary fermentation to trap natural carbon dioxide, then aged on its fine lees for four to six months. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites.
