24-hour Tasting.-
Why not still Spanish wines? The Cava´s Grapes, because are mediterranean, with medium acidity, not chalky, and oxidative ( an important point in still white wines from Penedés).
It is not Viognier or Chenin Blanc, It is fault of finesse, and slightness. Overall, the alcohol is low.
The salty notes, fresh and more oceanic than mediterranean, as well as the oxidative character, is coming to Italy, in this case, Campania region.
