Codorníu Winery

Codorníu (Catalan pronunciation: [kuðuɾˈniw]) is the oldest and second-largest producer of Cava, the Spanish traditional method sparkling wine.

Years later, in 1872, Josep Raventós produced cava for the first time in Spain using the “traditional method” and established a completely new industry in the Alt Penedès region.

The Codorníu cellars at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia were built on the orders of Manuel Raventós between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century (1895–1915).

Manuel Raventós, however, was insistent that the family winery should be close to the vineyard, as he was aware that such proximity would be the key to improving the quality of the wines.

In 1976, the Codorníu cellars at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia were declared a "National Monument of Historical and Artistic Interest" by King Juan Carlos I.
