Pla de Bages
Location: Spain
Legal name: DO Pla de Bages
Pla de Bages is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Catalonia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is small inland Catalan DO associated with Picapoll Blanc and revived local varieties. Typical wines are fresh whites with citrus and floral notes; reds that can show Mediterranean fruit and herbal detail. The vineyard context is inland Catalonia with altitude, limestone, clay, and strong day-night temperature contrast.
