On a land with more than 2,500 years of history in the world of wine, Avgvstvs Forvm is a family business with more than thirty years of history dedicated to the production of quality organic wines and vinegars ideal for to use in any kitchen. A project that aims to be one hundred per cent sustainable in the coming years!
Fruit of the efforts of four generations of farmers, the land of Avgvstvs Forvm produces a wide variety of wines, many of them with unique characteristics, included in the prestigious DO Penedès. In addition, the vineyards planted along the ancient Roman Via Augusta also allow us to produce the prestigious Forvm wines, a reference for haute cuisine chefs around the world.
The cellar of the Penedès Avgvstvs Forvm is located in the Penedès, near the city of Barcelona and a few kilometres from Tarragona, the ancient capital of Roman Spain. A land where you can breathe millennia of winemaking tradition, in a privileged location with views onto the Mediterranean Sea and a microclimate that gives even more character to our Penedès wines and vinegars.
Sustainability has been one of the main lines of work of the winery, where all the products have the organic production certificate, but where we also aspire to much more. In the last few years we have been working to become a 100% sustainable company, an effort that is being translated into the transformation of our different “terroirs” with regenerative agriculture techniques.
The whole family of Penedès wines Avgvstvs has the seal of pertinence to the DO Penedès, one of the most prestigious wine certifications in Spain. In this way, our wines can bring prestige, quality and help to increase the sales of our importers around the world. In total, at Avgvstvs Forvm we make fourteen different wines.
Among our offer, we can highlight proposals as personal as Avgvstvs Antigues Reserves 1999, a wine made in the last century and which has been bottled for 23 years. Or our Avgvstvs NVDE, a pure and natural wine that we make with the minimum possible intervention, pouring terracotta amphorae in the same way as the Romans did 2,000 years ago.
The Avgvstvs family also includes our Microvinifications, limited production made from a single vineyard, some of which are over 120 years old, all based on local varieties such as Malvasia de Sitges and Xarel-lo Vermell. Always made using organic techniques and suitable for vegans.
Otra Another area of our work that we are passionate about is the production of sweet-sour Forvm vinegars. From the best wines, we are committed to obtaining the best vinegars, with a proposal specially designed to exploit the infinite options of this product in the kitchen, far beyond the traditional salads.
Forvm, in fact, derives from the word used by the Romans to refer to the square that was the centre of life in any city. From our Mediterranean perspective, cooking and eating are also the nerve centre of our life, and even more so when accompanied by vinegars that have conquered the most demanding palates and have won the hearts of prestigious chefs all over the world.
Forvm vinegars are currently available in 40 countries, are an essential ingredient in many restaurants (including several Michelin-starred restaurants) and have been used for 13 years to prepare the menu for the annual gal-la that is held in Stockholm after the Nobel Prize ceremony. The list of recipes with vinegar Forvm is very extensive.
We currently produce four vinegars, of which we can highlight the Forvm Chardonnay, made with organic Chardonnay grapes and aged for three years, and which is characterised by a clean taste, with a sweet and balanced touch. The Forvm Cabernet Sauvignon, as its name indicates, is made with Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 8 years, and has a balanced and complex taste that lasts. The Forvm Merlot is the fruit of our young Merlot wine, which is not aged in oak barrels and brings us red fruits, freshness and colour. And finally, our most unique vinegar: the Forvm Antigues Reserves, aged for more than 30 years, fruit of the first vinegar production in the cellar. A vinegar with its own personality, designed for the most demanding recipes.
The possibilities of Forvm vinegars in the kitchen are infinite, as we demonstrate at our restaurant Degvsta, where we offer different zero-kilometre preparations for people who enjoy one of our wine tourism experiences in the Penedès.
