Clàssic Penedès
- Identity: The quality sparkling wines of Penedès DO, with grapes and wine from the delimited Penedès area.
- Organic: Certified-organic grapes and wines are required.
- Method: Traditional bottle fermentation is used; the specification also permits the ancestral method.
- Ageing: Normally at least 15 months from tirage to disgorgement. Specially controlled ancestral wines aged at least four years may be sold undisgorged; this is separate from Cava Reserva.
- Labels: Vintage and disgorgement date help distinguish harvest from the later removal of the lees.
