Sanmartí 1018 Garnatxa Sumoll

Aged for 12 months in french oak barrels, this intense and full-bodied red wine is the perfect synthesis that defines the minerality of D.O. Pla de Bages wine region, in central Catalonia.

While the Garnatxa gives color and spices, as well as softness and maturity, the Sumoll adds the perfect counterpoint of rusticity and acidity to the whole blend.

An excellent wine to enjoy on its own or in combination with a generous meal.
