Cava classification
Cava classification refers to a system used to categorize the quality and characteristics of Cava, a sparkling wine from Spain, primarily made in the Catalonia region. It distinguishes Cava into different levels based on aging and production methods. The classifications include "Cava," which has the least aging, "Cava Reserva," which requires at least 15 months of aging, and "Cava Gran Reserva," needing a minimum of 30 months. Each level reflects differences in flavor complexity and texture, helping consumers choose based on their preferences for quality and experience in sparkling wines.
