The Alta Alella winery is the closest winegrower to Barcelona, just a few kilometers out of the city towards Maresme, to the northeast. Alta Alella responds to the desire of the couple Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets and his wife, Cristina Guillén, to make wines and cavas, and in their case high-end organic wines and cavas within the DO Alella and the DO Cava. They acquired the Noucentista Can Genís farm, located just two km from the Mediterranean Sea, between the municipalities of Alella and Tiana, in the agricultural region of the Sierra de Marina Natural Park.
