Can Serra by Els Exibis: The Perfect Harmony of Ancestral and Noble Varieties

A Unique Blend Connecting Past and Future

The Can Serra dels Exibis is an exceptional red wine that redefines the unique terroir of Navàs, in the northernmost part of DO Pla de Bages. This wine stems from a profound commitment to organic viticulture and absolute respect for the natural landscape. Its singularity lies in a master blend that beautifully balances history and modernity: the floral delicacy and perfume of Mandó, combined with the electric edge and vibrant acidity of Sumoll, fuse with the velvety warmth and juicy fruit of Black Grenache. To round out the blend, Cabernet Sauvignon introduces a noble structure, complexity, and an impeccable backbone. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, Can Serra is an authentic expression of Mediterranean forest, clay-limestone soils, and timeless elegance.

Narrative Tasting Note: Forest Complexity, Crunchy Berries, and Silky Texture

In the glass, it reveals a beautiful cherry coat of medium-to-high intensity, remarkably bright and flashing lively ruby rims that denote its energy. Upon approaching the nose, it unfolds a rich aromatic symphony deeply tied to the Bages landscape. At first, a vibrant explosion of crunchy red and dark fruits steps forward —reminiscent of blackberries, raspberries, and wild cherries— driven by the Grenache and Mandó. Quickly, the wine evolves towards complex notes of forest floor, where wild rosemary and thyme interweave with a subtle hint of black pepper and tobacco leaf contributed by the Cabernet Sauvignon. The entire bouquet is beautifully framed by a balsamic and mineral freshness, a memory of white chalky soil that provides great verticality. On the palate, the entry is smooth and welcoming, but swiftly surprises with its remarkable structure and volume. The journey across the tongue is pure balance: the texture is silky with mature, well-polished tannins, while the drive of the Sumoll adds an electric acidity that refresches the mouth and beautifully balances the warmth of the Grenache. The finish is long, deep, and intensely savory, leaving a clean aftertaste of crisp berries and fine spices that invites you to keep enjoying it.
