D.O. Pla de Bages
That Bages is a land of wines is a fact. It is not clear when vine cultivation began in this region, but the author of the medieval manuscript "Miracula Sancti Benedicti" interpreted the name Bages as coming from Bacus, the pagan god of wine. From Bacchus came Bacasis and finally Bages
The first traces of vines and wine in the Bages region are found in Roman villas. In the villa of Boades (Castellgalí) a piece of Iberian-Roman pottery dating from the 1st or 2nd century BC was found, containing an inscription with the word VINUM. Several remains of amphorae were also located and are preserved in the Museu Comarcal de Manresa. The first indication of wine production was found in La Feliua (Sant Fruitós de Bages) where a large stone slab was located, the base of an ancient press dating from the end of the Roman period in the 4th or 5th century AD.
WINE
Climate
Within a continental Mediterranean mid-mountain climate, Bages has the ideal conditions for growing vines: an exceptional microclimate, low rainfall and a strong thermal oscillation, in addition to a clayey and calcareous soil. Its wines are impregnated with balsamic notes of lavender, thyme and rosemary. These aromatic plants populate the pine, oak and holm oak forests that surround the vineyards
These peculiarities make the ages, an optimal area for obtaining wines of great value.
Variety of wines
Most important grape varieties
Among the white grapes
Picapoll Blanc
Picapoll Blanc
Late variety, with oval berries and thick skin, which protects it during its long maturation. It gives wines of medium acidity which makes them very pleasant and enhances their sensation of volume. Aromatically it reveals citrus notes, such as grapefruit, aromatic herb lavender and in the cooler years floral notes (white flowers such as jasmine)
Medium cycle variety. It brings elegance to the coupages of the area. It is characterized by notes of white fruit and a medium contribution of alcohol and acidity
Malvasia
Malvasia
Malvasia is a white grape variety, although there is also a black sub-variety. The malvasia grape is small and not very compact. The berry is fat, tender and ovoid, very sweet and aromatic.
The wine made from this grape variety is also called malvasia, or malvasia wine, a white, sweet, fragrant, high alcoholic liqueur wine. In the middle ages it was supposed to have medicinal and tonic properties and is mentioned in the Tirant lo Blanc
Among the black/red grapes
Mandó
Mandó is an almost forgotten black grape variety that is successfully recovering. The wines made with this variety are surprising for their quality and personality. For this reason, a great effort is being made to reintroduce it by rescuing the few vines that have survived its abandonment. It produces medium-sized, considerably compact segments. Its berries are small and spherical, reaching maturity with a violet hue
Sumoll
The most preserved native black variety in the area. Medium cycle, fat grape and medium high production. It gives blacks with little color but a lot of freshness and tannic structure, with a continental wine style (i.e. more similar to Pinots Noirs and Nebiolos than to Bordeaux varieties). Tannins are difficult to ripen, so it has always been considered a good variety for rosé wines
Picapoll negra
Black grape not very compact and with small, spherical, very tasty berries with a very thin and tender skin.
The wine made from black picapoll grapes is pale in color, with a high alcohol content and an intense aroma
