Article
A glass of white cava Cava (Catalan: [ˈkaβə], pl. caves; Spanish: [ˈkaβa], pl. cavas) is a sparkling wine of denominación de origen (DO) status from Spain. It may be white (blanco) or rosé (rosado).
The Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo are the most popular and traditional grape varieties for producing cava. Chardonnay and Malvasia are also permitted. Authorized red grapes are Garnacha tinta, Monastrell, Trepat, and Pinot Noir. Only wines produced in the traditional method may be labelled "cava"; those produced by other processes may only be called "sparkling wines" (vi escumós).
