Popping Open Some Pink Bubbly this Valentine’s Day

February 13, 2014 by Lisa Pisano 3 Comments

A bottle of white…a bottle of red…perhaps a bottle of rosé instead?

Ah, the Piano Man does know how to craft a memorable lyric.  And the folks at Anna de Codorníu sure know how to craft a memorable bottle of bubbly.

Truth be told, I wasn’t familiar with Anna de Codorníu, Spain’s leading sparkling wine – or cava – until recently. And while I know not to judge a bottle of wine by its label, I couldn’t help but be woo-ed by their chic packaging design, which launched nationally last month.

We plan to pop it open this weekend as we celebrate Valentine’s Day.  Here’s a little bit of background info on this cava (they’ve been around a lonnnnggggg time!):

Anna is sourced from the best quality estate-grown fruit from vineyards near Barcelona.  Steeped in the life and legacy of Spain’s premier sparkling wines, known as “cava,” Anna debuted in 1984 as the first cava to incorporate Chardonnay, resulting in the vibrant, crisp profile that is a signature of the wine. Anna is named for the last heiress of the Codorníu winemaking family who married winemaker Miquel Raventós in 1659; her descendants were the first to master the Méthode Traditionelle” of making sparkling wine in Spain, and thus began the rich history of cava.

Then and now, the family behind Anna has been inspired by the strong character of the Spanish woman who launched a winemaking dynasty more than three centuries ago.

I’ll drink to that.

    YUM! I love Cava! I was never a huge champagne fan until this summer. We visited a Cava winery in the area right outside of Barcelona and I fell in LOVE with it.

      Yes, I actually like cava a lot myself. I find that it makes a nicer Mimosa than traditional champagne (and it way more cost effective!) ox
