Can Sumoi
Can Sumoi is the name of an estate, a winery, and a wine label but, above all, it’s the name of an idea: that of feeling nature, working on its form, and turning it into wine.
This is how we undertook this project, which is based on the preservation of the landscape, the recovery of high mountain vineyards in the heart of the Penedès and the production of minimal intervention, organic wines that express, in each bottle, a way of understanding viticulture, that is, of respecting nature, that is, of understanding the world.
Wine becomes much more than just wine when it is cable of authentically expressing a territory. That is, when a glass tangibly adopts all that series of intangible values at first glance: the landscapes, the colours, the fauna, the flora, the suffering, the effort, the dreams, and the horizons of a specific corner of the world.
To achieve this, you need to be respectful of the environment, protect the territory, preserve its authenticity and ensure that nature does naturally what it always knows how to do: resist, survive and return to life in an authentic way.
It is with such purpose that Can Sumoi was born in 2017: the challenge of recovering the vital heartbeat in an abandoned farm, preserving it through agriculture and giving expression to it by making wines with minimal intervention, capable of naturally conveying the territory where they are born.
We like to make wines the same way we treat the landscape where they are born: in an organic and natural way, with minimal intervention throughout all the viticulture processes, from the vineyard to the cellar.
We work manually, without added chemicals or oenological additives and only with a minimum of sulphites during the bottling process, following the French Vin Nature regulations with less than 30mg/l of sulphites per litre of wine. And, naturally, we do all this for a very natural reason: to turn each wine we make into a living and genuine expression of the territory.
