Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain, primarily produced in the Penedès region. It is made using traditional methods similar to those used for Champagne, where the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. Cava is typically made from a blend of grape varieties, including Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada. The flavor profile of cava can range from dry to sweet, depending on the amount of sugar added during production. It is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with various dishes, making it a popular choice for celebrations and gatherings.
