Celler Cal Pla - Negre
Cal Pla Negre is a red wine from the Priorat, produced by Celler Cal Pla.
This is a small family winery located in Porrera (Tarragona) that can boast a winemaking tradition dating back to 1814.
Cal Pla Negre is made from Garnacha (60%) and Carignan (40%), from vines 10 years old, facing north-west.
The vineyards are planted on terraces, on slate soils at an altitude of 450 metres. The first step in developing Cal Pla Negre is a manual harvest, held during the first week of October.
Once in the winery, and after maceration of the grapes with their own skins, a fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures.
Finally Cal Pla Negre is aged for 12 months in 2nd year barrels of 60% French oak and 40% American oak.
