Mariona Vendrell and Albert Canela founded Succés Vinicola in 2011 when they were 20. A Succés in Catalan is an important event, and the founding of this Vinicola was certainly an important moment because Mariona and Albert are two of the more talented young winemakers in Spain. Focused on small parcels of native varieties far off the beaten path, their wines are all organic, natural, and named to evoke the character of the cuvee. Conca de Barbera is a diverse and rugged region in the mountains just north of Tarragona. The twin influences of mountains and ocean push and pull on the vines to make wines of tension beautifully expressed through the Trepat grape, thin skinned and vibrant. Cuca de Llum means Firefly in Catalan, and this wine dances with light and energy. Aromas of boysenberry, black raspberry, and lemon zest are layered with notes of chalky potting soil and pipe tobacco. The palate is plump, full of black berries and orange, earth and a bit of black forest peppered bacon, leading into a juicy, citrus lined finish. Buy at least two because the first bottle will leave you wanting more. Serve to friends alongside barbecue fare.
