The producer
Can-Vi is a canned wine project founded by Jordi Solé and Cristina Vaqué, based in Blancafort in the Conca de Barberà, with Jordi Llorens (of Celler Jordi Llorens, directly across the village) involved as collaborating winemaker. The project is built around the 250ml can, positioned as a practical, low-waste vessel that keeps wine fresh without the opened-bottle problem: "same essence, different shape." All wines are made without added sulphites, with indigenous yeasts, and are unfiltered. The Ancestral Rosat is a pétillant naturel that finishes its fermentation inside the can.
The place
Monastrell, known as Mataró on the northwest coast of Catalunya and Mourvèdre in France, gives thick skinned berries that can make powerful, rustic wines. Here, this young planting on limestone with and a shorter maceration at the cellar, shows the versatility of the grape and its potential to produce fresh, easy drinking wines.
