The soil on the Can Martí Estate was formed by sediments deposited some thousands of years ago from the Garraf Hills. One of the most characteristic features of the soil on the Estate is the presence of accumulations of calcium carbonate. The movement of rainwater through the soil dissolves the carbonates and deposits them deeper in the soil. This continuous process causes accumulations of these deposits. When these deposits become massified, after many thousands of years, they bind together and form a solid stratum called a petrocalcic horizon. This hard stratum limits the availability of water to the vines and production but is a factor in giving quality to the grapes.
The wine offers a straw yellow color, clean, transparent, fine, and persistent bubbles with a rosary formation. In the nose fresh pear aromas stand out along with delicious notes of pastry cream, white flowers, and candied fruits. On the palate, good balance and acidity. Powerful and flavorful with white flowers and notes of brioche, almond and great length.
Special Editon is very versatile and matches with many different kinds of dishes; pasta, pork, chiken, fish, seafood, rice, cold cuts, desserts.

"Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of luxurious vinyl unicorn pool toy, lemon oil and lime, and baked apple with a velvety, crisp, finely carbonated, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, refreshing, medium-long finish imparting shades of lemon and lime, baked yellow apple, honeycomb and dried apricot, and blanched almond. Some serious Spanish sparkles showcased in this Cava with layers of depth and complexity."
