This DO is home to wines made in Catalonia that are not covered by the other designations of origin. It encompasses a traditional way of making wine, with a coupage of wines from various wine regions in Catalonia.

This is the smallest DO in Catalonia and the closest to Barcelona. The typical soil, “sauló”, gives the wines special attributes due its high drainage which makes the vine roots grow very deep and acquire a high mineral content.

In Catalonia, the DO Cava is spread over several parts of the Penedès, Anoia, Baix Llobregat, Camp de Tarragona, Conca de Barberà, Costers del Segre and Empordà.
