LES CANTARELLES, NURIA RENOM, Can Barcelō - Alt Penedès
Nuria Renom is originally from Argentina and came to Spain with her family when she was young. Wine was an early passion: Nuria spent some time studying abroad in Italy and started training as a sommelier and working harvests soon after.
In 2013, she helped open the now-legendary natural wine-focused Bar Brutal in Barcelona as the head sommelier, and in 2014 she made her first wines with fruit from friends in the Catalan natural wine community.
Continuing at Bar Brutal, she kept making more wine each year, working with grapes from organic and regenerative farmers like Ton Rimbau or Toni Carbó (La Salada).
Finally, in 2021 Nuria and her partner Arola Tous-Galí purchased their own farm Can Barceló, in the town of Sant Martí del Sarroca in the Alt Penedès, and started their 'Les Cantarelles' project. The old farmhouse hosts 16 hectares of vines - mostly Parellada - and a hundred centenarian olive trees. Protected by hills and forests and away from the moderating climate of the mediterranean, Can Barceló can be quite cool. Grapes ripen slowly, and wines rarely reach over 12% potential alcohol. Nuria and Arola currently make wine from 8.7 hectares that they farm organically (ECO certified) with biodynamic treatments and minimal working of the soils. In addition, Nuria works with Muscat and Garnacha Blanca from vineyards near Sitges and Xarel-lo from Ton Rimbau’s regeneratively farmed vines in Vilobí del Penedès.
Nuria and Arola have a natural approach in the cellar, working with spontaneous fermentations, never employing SO2 or other additives, and bottling without fining or filtering.
