First Avinyo-labelled Cava produced 1979 in small quantities. Cellars in the 16th-century Can Fontanals farmhouse, with vines on four parcels totalling about 40 hectares. Indigenous varieties (Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada) plus Muscat for the Petillant ancestral-method sparkler. Run by four Esteve i Via siblings.
Tasting: Visit to the old Can Fontanals farmhouse, cellar tour and tasting of La Ticota Gran Reserva, Petillant and the Avinyo Cava Brut.
Signature wines: avinyo-la-ticota, avinyo-cava-brut, avinyo-petillant, avinyo-rose-reserva
Tip: Petillant is the off-piste discovery, an ancestral-method Muscat that drinks like a cleaner Moscato d'Asti.
