La Fita - Penedès

Martí Torrallardona is the creator of La Fita Vins Personals.  Martí was born and raised in Sant Sadurní, son of a vine grower father and a speech therapist mother.  He studied oenology at Rovira i Virgili University and then began his more serious career at Can Sumoi.  There, he worked both as a technical oenologist and in sales for Catalonia, Valencia, Andorra, and Central and South America.  In 2019, he moved to Austria to discover its culture and winemaking techniques.  Martí says that La Fita began to take shape at Can Sumoi, and in Austria, it fully formed.  La Fita wines are fresh wines with low alcohol and high acidity.  Minimal intervention but maximum precision.
