Mas Candí is a very successful joint venture of four young people, with an interest in making their own wines from the vines planted by their grandparents on their family's land in Les Gunyoles d'Avinyonet - Alt Penedès, where the Mas Candi Cellar was built in 2006.

All of them, winegrowers and artisan winemakers, with a passionate and restless character to create and try new avenues. Great defenders of the native varieties, recovering almost extinct Catalan native varieties. Their viticulture practices, without herbicides or pesticides, are always respectful of the environment.

Mas Candí is one of the latest winery to become a member of the new Brand, CORPINNAT, which stand for a collective European Union Brand established with the aim of distinguishing great sparkling wines made in the heart of the Penedès, from 100% organic manual harvest, 100% vinified on the premises of the winery and long ageing.
