Israel Romero / Thursday, May 25, 2023 / Categories: Spanish Brands La Mundial Barcelona, a Made in Spain Gourmet venture La Mundial Barcelona If there is one thing the pandemic achieved, it’s that entrepreneurs returned with renewed energy. And the city of Barcelona is a magnet for new initiatives. Alexis Alary, a France-born lover of the city, based between Barcelona and Mallorca, has created a brand with strong international potential. A brand inspired by 19th-century Barcelona The aperitif of Barcelona New format: can for your coolest moments We are from Barcelona, and we won’t deny that we were particularly delighted to meet Alexis Alary on our path, for jointly developing Made in Spain Gourmet brands and products. La Mundial Barcelona, created by Alexis, a Frenchman based in the capital of Catalonia, has great business vision and a deep understanding of the dining experience in Barcelona (he owns several restaurants focused on quality yet casual food—a tapas-style approach that conveys the essence of the Spanish Food Experience). Made in Spain Gourmet is a natural home for this brand, and that is why we believe in it. A brand inspired by 19th-century Barcelona The Frenchman drew inspiration from the 1880s, one of the most dynamic decades Barcelona has ever known. The “City of the Counts,” as Barcelona was called, entered a period of growth and cultural reactivation. In the upper neighborhoods, the “Señoritos” prepared the International Fair, The 1888 Universal Exposition, while writers and artists from around the world ended their long nights in the labyrinthine alleys of the city’s Gothic Quarter. Bubbles have always been present during Catalan festivities: to drink and toast, and also to lighten life, never taking anything too seriously. La Mundial is the essence of that bygone Barcelona. A carefully produced and hand-bottled drink in Alexis’s adopted city, the incomparable Barcelona. With a unique flavor, at Made in Spain Gourmet we always back products that are singular, excellent in taste, and have considerable international potential. The aperitif of Barcelona La Mundial Barcelona has a very clear goal: to be the reference as Barcelona’s aperitif, a drink in the style of a Spritz. It tastes great and goes down easily: it’s an unmatched 100% natural recipe made from Penedés (Barcelona) grapes and premium organic fruit extracts and spices, and it has organic certification. It lets you enjoy a fantastic aperitif with gourmet canned goods such as Conservas Nosa mussels, Sal de Ibiza potatoes, Mesto Chupadedos olives or Beitem pizzas. Radically different; Fruity, Fizzy and Sexy. Because of its low alcoholic content, 7 °C, La Mundial is suitable for any moment and season of the year. It can also accompany a meal, with a paella or a cheese board, for example—it’s super versatile. We loved that you can drink it at any hour. Even after dinner, to accompany reading a good book. What drink could we compare it to? Honestly, we couldn’t say. We believe it is a unique beverage that conveys tradition and innovation at the same time. Created by sommelier Joan Soler, he has developed two drinks: the frizzante rosé and the frizzante white. The first is Rosalea, a carbonated beverage made with red wine from Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes of the Penedés (Catalonia), cane sugar and natural Mediterranean fruit extracts (orange, lemon), cinnamon and distilled water. The second is Clarea, a carbonated beverage made with white wine from Macabeo and Parellada grapes of the Penedés (Catalonia) and natural Mediterranean fruit extracts such as orange, lemon and peach, spices and distilled water. We recommend serving it extra cold in a wine glass with an orange twist at 7–9 °C. The Penedés area, a comarca located in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, is mainly dedicated to producing high-quality wines and cavas. Viticulture is carried out in more than 300 wineries. Therefore Alexis’s decision to choose the wines that form the base of La Mundial Barcelona from that region was very wise. New format: can for your coolest moments For those who want a refreshment with a low alcohol content, 4.5 °C, a 25 cl can format has also been launched for both Rosalea and Clarea. Take it to the beach or enjoy an aperitif at a chiringuito. You will also find it on our website, and all our customers in Europe and the USA can enjoy it. Sucralín, the best naturally derived formula. Spanish nuts are premium, and we have the best. Print 6 Rate this article: No rating Please login or register to post comments.
