Coca i Fitó of Monsant in Catalunya, Spain is a small family production operated by two brothers, Toni and Miquel Coca. The brothers grew up around vineyards and eventually started making their own wines in 2006 after years of working for other cellars. Their individual talents compliment each other: Toni makes vibrant and well-defined wines, while Miquel is a true artist for design and running a wine cellar, if you notice all of the labels from Coca i Fitó are wonderfully designed by Miquel.

Montsant, like the Priorat, is a remarkably beautiful region with steep mountains that rise more than 3,300 feet above sea level. The climate is harsh: hot summers and bitter winters. The vines are planted directly on the steep hillsides, on what are called "coster" or terraces.

Toni Coca is a master in getting the most out of his grapes: mature fruit expression and structure without sacrificing freshness. It's no surprise that he is sought after as a consultant throughout the country. In fact, he works for over 15 different projects. Toni was also voted as the best winemaker in Catalunya in 2018.

The story of Jaspi wine begins in the high-elevation region of Monstant, a beautiful area within Catalunya, Spain. Here, we see beautiful summer days and mild, warm evenings, making for a perfect place to grow Garnacha, Carinena, Sira, Garnacha Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Coca i Fitó has perfectly captured the essence of Monstant. The Jaspi wines are a classic rendition of the region style, showing balanced boldness with hints of minerality. The Jaspi Negre & Maragda focus on the stunning Garnacha, Sirah and Samso, whereas the Jaspi Blanc focuses on the classic Garnacha Blanc and Macabeo. Stunning wines for an unbeatable price!
