AT Roca

Soon after cutting ties with the family business, Mr. Agustí Torelló Sibill founded the AT Roca winery of Penedès with the aid of his sons Jordi and Agustí, a young but already experienced oenologist in charge of the technical aspect of the project. As a recognition of his son’s hard work and expertise, his father name the AT Roca project after him.

A thought-out and environmentally conscious project, AT Roca “Vi de Terrer” aims to craft terroir-transparent wines from native varieties through minimal intervention techniques. The company currently produces wines in different regions across Catalonia under several commercial names.

Since its inception, sparkling wines have been the DNA of the AT Roca winery. Due to the poor quality standards of the DO Cava, Mr. Agustí Torelló decided from the outset to produce all AT Roca sparkling wines under the Clàssic Penedès designation.

The brand of the AT Roca winery in DO Montsant, Companyia Vitícola Síleo crafts wines from the local varieties Grenache and Carignan, sourced from 4 vineyard located near the village of Cornudella de Montsant. Planted between 500 and 700 metres of altitude, the vineyards have different exposures and a combination of slate, clay and limestone soils.

The AT Roca winery also makes the charitable wine Cop de Cor, an organic white wine from Penedès made solely from ‘Vinyes Novelles’, an old Xarel·lo vineyard. All the profits go to the “Vi per Vida” foundation, which funds cancer research.

The latest project of bodega AT Roca is called Ànima Mundi. Dedicated to the production of no sulfites added still wines and ancestral sparklers from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards, Ànima Mundi takes the hands-off approach and the commitment to sustainability one step beyond.

In March 2023, bodega AT Roca inaugurated a brand new winery in Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs, Penedès. A fine example of bioclimatic architecture, the energetically independent, carbon-free building will be added a new wing in the near future. Eventually, all the AT Roca wines from Penedès will be vinified and aged in the new production facility.
