Conca de Barberà
Conca de Barberà is a designation of origin in inland Tarragona, in Catalonia, known for its fresh Parellada whites and for the native Trepat grape.
Conca de Barberà occupies an inland basin in the province of Tarragona, in Catalonia, surrounded by mountain ranges that separate it from the coast. Its Mediterranean climate with continental influence and the altitude of many vineyards favour grapes with good acidity. The white varieties Parellada and Macabeo give fresh, aromatic wines, and the area also supplies grapes for cava. Among the reds, Tempranillo and the native Trepat stand out, the latter closely associated with rosés and light reds.
