Today, Catalan wine is better than ever. This is not an impassioned exaggeration
but a tangible fact.
As geographer Joan Nogué would say, the Catalan winegrowing landscape is impregnated with social, cultural, historical, aesthetic and, even, spiritual, values. Catalan wines are now a focus for those who want to drink a landscape and help strengthen the often undervalued links to working the land, the real everyday heroes, the farmers working poor soils, those ? according to Pla - real creators of landscapes. This book plants a much needed, valuable, and attractive seed of communication. Each page represents part of an ancient, honest and hardworking whole: an outstanding sea of vines. This is a book that drinks in delicious snippets from illustrious members of our country's gastronomic culture, bringing together the land and the people. It is a toast to the senses; sharing the passion, wisdom and good taste of Catalan wines throughout all the denominations of origin and representing wine agriculture, economic vitality and people's lives laid out in bottles.
