DO Conca de Barberà

The DO Conca de Barberà is defined as a DO with a unique character, marked by its history, people, landscapes, wineries and wines. To know this D.O. is to know Trepat, the native variety of red grapes of the Conca de Barberà, and the excellent wines it produces, with a touch of acidity, freshness and fruity notes. This variety has been used mainly for rosé wines and cavas, but for some years now, several wineries have used it to make signature red wines.

Why is it special?

The winemaking tradition of the region takes you back to the twelfth century, when the Cistercian monks of the abbey of Santa Maria de Poblet and the Templars of Barberà de la Conca passed on their knowledge and experiences on the cultivation of vines and winemaking to farmers. Today, the Monastery of Poblet, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, continues to play a prominent role in various aspects such as its commitment to sustainability and wine tourism, along with the Cistercian Route. The Vinum Conca brand to market wines and cavas produced in the area is more fashionable than ever!

What can be done about it?

A route through the DO must include the modernist wineries of the cooperatives of Barberà de la Conca, l'Espluga de Francolí, Montblanc, Pira, Rocafort de Queralt and Sarral. The capital of the region, Montblanc, is a medieval town that preserves a spectacular wall where the Regulatory Council of the DO is located, in one of the towers, which proposes the Route of the Wineries of the Conca de Barberà to enjoy the architecture, the vineyards and the wines of its wineries and, at the same time, discover various places of interest, such as the Monastery of Poblet, the Museum of Rural Life of L'Espluga, the cave of the Font Major de l'Espluga, the Templar castle of Barberà de la Conca and numerous villages, churches and hermitages.

DO Conca de Barberà

If we talk about the D.O. Conca de Barberà, we have to do it with the trepat, the native grape variety that is grown in the valleys of the Corb river, the Baixa Segarra and the Conca del Tremp. Trepat gives us light and fruity wines and exceptional rosé cavas.
