Freixenet is a Spanish company, not Italian. It is headquartered in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, a town located in the Catalonia region of Spain. Catalonia is known for its production of Cava, which is a type of sparkling wine made using the traditional method.
I have personally visited Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and had the opportunity to tour the Freixenet winery. It was a fascinating experience to see the production process of Cava firsthand. The winery itself is quite impressive, with vast vineyards and state-of-the-art facilities.
Cava is often compared to Champagne, as they both undergo a second fermentation in the bottle to create the bubbles. However, Cava is made using different grape varieties and follows its own set of regulations. Freixenet is renowned for its high-quality Cavas, which are produced using a blend of indigenous Spanish grape varieties such as Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada.
Freixenet has gained international recognition for its Cava and has become the largest producer of traditional method sparkling wine in the world. Their Cavas are exported to numerous countries, making Freixenet a global brand. It is worth noting that while Freixenet is a Spanish company, their Cavas are enjoyed and appreciated by people from all around the world.
