Cava is made by the traditional method, which is equally painstaking and laborious in every country. The best of Spain's sparkling wines offer a different perspective on the style, using local grapes from the various DO Cava areas.
Some producers, like Albet i Noya, have chosen to opt out of the Cava appellation in favour of other designations for their traditional-method wines such as Clàssic Penedès.
