El Ivori tinto 2007 ha conseguido, por tercera vez consecutiva, medalla de oro en la 17 ª edición del Concours Mondial de Bruxelles que tuvo lugar en Palermo del 23 al 25 de Abril de 2010.
Este concurso ha reunido a 250 catadores de todo el mundo que tenían como objetivo catar más de 6.900 muestras de vino representando a bodegas de 54 países. El prestigio de este concurso es innegable, y se ha consolidado con el paso de los años gracias a que las muestras se agrupan en series homogéneas con criterios de origen y tipo de producto, y son presentadas completamente "a ciegas", sin que los catadores (grandes personalidades del mundo del vino, enólogos, periodistas especializados, compradores, miembros de sindicatos productores) puedan percibir ninguna información sobre la botella (a excepción de la añada de producción).
Este hecho no hace más que ratificar la excelente calidad de los vinos, tanto blancos como tintos, que elabora Alella Vinícola año tras año.
La base varietal la forman la Garnacha tinta y el Cabernet Sauvignon complementados con el Syrah. La crianza se ha realizado en barricas de roble francés de 300, 400 y 500 litros durante 14 meses. Color cereza oscuro, nariz con un profundo aroma de frutos negros (ciruela y higo), balsámico y con notas especiadas. Boca muy carnosa, glicérica y sedosa. Gran equilibrio y estructura. Final largo y elegante con matices de regaliz y ahumados.
Combina perfectamente con platos de carnes a la brasa o al horno, guisos de caza, quesos ....

El XV Concurso de Vinos y Cavas de Catalunya GIROVI'10 ha reconocido con DOS MEDALLAS DE ORO los dos vinos espumosos que han participado: MARFIL ESPUMOSO DE CALIDAD ROSADO 2008 BRUT y MARFIL ESPUMOSO DE CALIDAD MOSCATEL 2008 DULCE.
GIROVI es un concurso donde participan todas las Denominaciones de Origen catalanas, forman parte del jurado 200 catadores expertos, elaboradores, comerciantes y restauradores, entre otros, catando a ciegas las muestras participantes. Las medallas de oro han reconocido los mejores vinos clasificados de cada jurado. En la tabla notarial presente en la sala destacaban personalidades del mundo del vino y de la restauración como el sumiller de El Celler de Can Roca Josep Roca.
Celebramos que este concurso reconozca productos nuevos, innovadores y diferentes!

La pasada Navidad se comercializaron las primeras botellas de vinos espumosos de alta calidad en la historia de la D.O. Alella. Son cuatro tipos de vinos diferentes elaborados con el método tradicional (segunda fermentación en botella). Se juega con tres variedades: la Pansa blanca, la Garnacha tinta y el Moscatel. Vinos únicos y originales como un "blanc de noir" de Garnacha tinta o un Moscatel dulce os sorprenderan al catar-los. El 18 de febrero, a partir de las 18 horas, los miembros del Club Marfil podeis venir gratuitamente a probar-los en el Espacio Marfil situado al lado de la tienda.

Alella Vinicola, specifically the Ivori Red Wine 2006, has achieved a gold medal in the sixteenth edition of the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles which took place in Valencia from 25 to April 27.

The prestige of this contest is undeniable, and has established itself over the years because the samples are presented completely "blind" and the tasters (major figures in world of wine, winemakers, journalists, buyers and members of producers' unions) can not receive any information on the bottle (with the exception of the vintage of production).

For the second time, the 2006 Red Ivori gets the more important recognition in this competition, the gold medal. This fact confirms the excellent quality of wines, both whites and reds, which develops Alella Vinicola year after year.

The varietal base is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, complemented with Red Grenache. Ageing was done in 300, 400 and 500 litre French oak casks during 14 months. This wine has a dark cherry colour, a nose with a deep aroma of black fruits (plum and fig), it is balsamic with spiced notes. It has a long-lasting and elegant finish with liquorice and smoked nuances.

It combines perfectly with charcoal-grilled or roasted meats, game casseroles, cheeses...

We will also work in the reproduction of a small testimonial vineyard which will be in the museum.
Alella Vinicola is the only winery in the Denomination of Origin Alella who has worked with this project because, in the words of Xavier Garcia (owner and winemaker): "we are faced with the possibility of collaborating in a unique initiative in Spain, is an opportunity to continue strengthening the excellent ties between wine and culture.

During the 14th edition of the prestigious Brussels International Competition which that year was held from 29 April to 1st of May in Maastricht, the red wines IVORI NEGRE 2005 and VALLMORA 2005 from the wine cellar ALELLA VINICOLA CAN JONC of Alella both obtained gold medals out of more than 5,000 wines from various wine cellars throughout the world. The jury comprised over 220 professionals from the wine sectors of more than 45 countries.

Currently, Alella Vinicola produces 3 product ranges: Marfil (for more than 100 years), Ivori (White and Red, both superior quality), Vallmora (a red wine named after the Roman wine cellar located in Teià). Over the next few months, a new line of naturally fermented sparkling wines will appear on the market under the name of Mayla.

The fact that two red wines from Alella, a place traditionally known for its whites, won this prestigious award shows the work and the efforts being made over the last 8 years by Alella Vinícola. Our target is to produce modern, quality wines that bring out the indigenous characteristics of Alella.

The annual international competition in Brussels recognises the work of the best producers worldwide and is seen as, on the one hand, a reliable reference for both professionals and consumers, and on the other hand, as a shop window for new wine trends.

Together with other public and private entities, Alella Vinícola sponsors work for the reintegration of the remains of a Roman wine growing culture in Vallmora (Teià), including two replicas of a wine press. Predictions are that, by the end of 2007, it will also include an area with a museum of wine-making equipment.

It seems this wine-growing plantation was the property of the Madani family, one of the most powerful in Rome. This dynasty was so important that one of its members was declared a possible successor to Hadrian as Roman Emperor and others were governors of Roman provinces in North Africa.
