Sant Sadurní d’Anoia

Sant Sadurní d’Anoia is a town in Catalonia, Spain, renowned as a major center for cava production. It's currently newsworthy due to significant shifts within the cava industry. Major family-owned cava businesses in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia have increasingly come under the control of international shareholders, contributing to uncertainty in the sector. This is compounded by declining sales, price pressures, and internal fragmentation within the Cava Designation of Origin (DO). One notable development is Juvé & Camps, a prominent cava producer, leaving the DO Cava to join Corpinnat, a quality sparkling wine collective from the Penedès region, aiming to enhance the value and recognition of Penedès-origin sparkling wines. Separately, the town recently hosted the Copa del Rey de hockey patines (roller hockey cup), where Liceo defeated Calafell in the final, highlighting Sant Sadurní d'Anoia's role as a venue for significant sporting events.
