List of products by brand Exibis
High-altitude wines with a biodynamic soul born in a 10th-century estate, sculpted by the lunar calendar and the purity of native Sumoll and Mandó grapes.
Located in the municipality of Navàs, in the northernmost section of the DO Pla de Bages at an altitude of 500 meters, Can Serra dels Exibis (Celler Exibis) is a historic estate whose written records date back to 1297 under the name Mansus Exibis. Today, driven by the Cots family and technically guided by the renowned winemaker Joan Soler, the winery has revived its glorious winemaking past to become a pioneer of organic and biodynamic agriculture in the region. Surrounded by dense Mediterranean forests, its vines thrive on poor soils and high terraces, benefiting from over 3,200 annual sunshine hours and a rigorous continental climate that ensures a majestic natural acidity. The estate's ultimate hallmark is minimal intervention in the cellar, total synchronicity with the astrological calendar, and an unyielding commitment to excellence through the micro-heritage of forgotten traditional grape varieties.
The Excellence in Pursuit of True Identity
Can Serra dels Exibis bases its prestige on the honest recovery of the historic character of Bages, championing those grapes that best translate the zone's mineral landscape.
- The Recovered Treasures: The Mandó grape is the cornerstone of the project—a highly aromatic red variety that provides diaphanous freshness, floral notes, and fine spices. It blends masterfully with Sumoll, an untamed variety that injects superb tension, nerve, and a unique sponge-like feel on the mid-palate.
- Supporting Varieties and Singular Whites: The red blends are seamlessly completed with small contributions of Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot to introduce structure and fleshiness. For white wines, the undisputed queen is Picapoll, refined with subtle aging on its fine lees to encapsulate the citrusy and saline typicity of the Bages region.
The Exibis Style:
The wines of Can Serra dels Exibis immediately captivate the eye with an outstanding chromatic vivacity, presenting bright cherry-red colors in their reds with deep violet rims that showcase their youth and high altitude, while their whites display clean and luminous straw-like reflections. Upon approaching the glass, a remarkably frank, direct, and unfiltered aromatic narrative unfolds, where ripe black fruits (plum) and crisp forest berries dance in absolute harmony with suggestive hints of dried flowers, oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, and balsamic echoes of the Mediterranean forest. On the palate, they surprise with a fresh and airy entry, where the luminosity of the fruit takes center stage. The mouthfeel is incredibly fluid and elegant, bypassing any heavy texture thanks to a stately acidity that provides magnificent tension and silky, velvety tannins, concluding with a persistent, deeply chalky, mineral finish highlighted by an elegant spicy echo.
Groundbreaking Pairings
The natural tension and aromatic profile of these low-intervention wines invite you to explore daring, high-end gastronomic harmonies full of character:
- With Red Blends of Sumoll and Mandó (Les Tines / La Rasa Style): We propose a sublime combination alongside a creamy wild-shot pigeon rice grilled over open embers, featuring chanterelle mushrooms (rossinyols) and a subtle hint of black licorice. The vertical tension and elasticity of the Sumoll perfectly slice through the richness of the rice, while the herbal and spicy notes of the Mandó mirror the smoke and rustic sweetness of the forest mushrooms.
- With Aged Red Micro-plots (La Baula Style): Enjoy its fluid concentration next to crispy veal sweetbreads glazed with a dried prune, clove, and 80% pure dark chocolate reduction. The polished tannins and balsamic acidity of the wine beautifully balance the richness of the sweetbreads, while the clove and dark cocoa notes fuse organically with the biodynamic aging nuances.
