Can Sumoi

Founded in 2016, Can Sumoi is the vision of childhood friends Pepe Raventós of Raventós i Blanc and Francesc Escala, who shared a long-held ambition to produce exceptional still wines in their native Catalonia. Their dream became reality after discovering a neglected 17th-century estate high in the mountains of western Penedès, which they carefully restored into a thriving vineyard and winery. The 400-hectare estate, situated 600 metres above sea level, is largely surrounded by woodland, creating a unique natural ecosystem and an ideal environment for sustainable viticulture. Just 20 hectares are planted with indigenous varieties including Xarel·lo, Parellada, Montònega and Sumoll on fossil-rich limestone soils.

Can Sumoi follows a holistic farming philosophy known as "biosynergy", where vineyards, livestock, wildlife and people work together in harmony to promote biodiversity and healthy vines. Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts, using minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation and only limited sulphur additions to preserve purity and site expression. The winery produces a range of elegant still and sparkling wines that reflect the freshness and character of this remarkable high-altitude vineyard. From vibrant whites and fragrant rosé to refined reds and traditional-method sparkling wines, each bottle captures the authenticity, precision and distinctive Mediterranean identity of Can Sumoi.
