Small bottle Cava Codorniu 1551 Brut 20 cl

Codorníu has more than 450 years of history and is therefore one of the oldest wineries in Spain. The first documented reference to Jaume Codorníu's winemaking activity dates back to 1551. The marriage between the heiress Anna Codorníu and the winegrower Miquel Raventós in 1659 laid the foundations of a great saga of winegrowers and the history of cava. In 1872 José Raventós produced cava for the first time in Spain following the Traditional Method and established a completely new industry in the Penedés region. The Codorníu cellars in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia were built on behalf of Manuel Raventós in 1885. The design and construction of the winery is carried out by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, who, with Gaudí, was one of the most outstanding representatives of the great Catalan modernist architectural school.
