Principia Mathematica is a white wine produced in Penedès by Alemany i Corrio in Villafranca del Penedès, Barcelona. Irene Alemany and Laurent Corrio met in Burgundy while they were studying oenology. Their passion for this world inspired them to create Penedès´ first garage winery in 1999. The vineyard´s only plot is situated in Sant Pere de Molanta (Alt Penedés) and it is planted with the 30 year old Xarel·lo variety. Principia Mathematica is made with direct pressing, and it ferments in 228 and 700 litre new French oak barrels. Two thirds of the wine is grown in these barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks.
Crisp white fruit and apricot nose with a light nutty element and a Meursault-esque butteriness. Dry, soft but fresh acidity. A lovely depth of mineral laced, grassy white fruit with hints of apricot and nuts.
