Maria Rigol Ordi

In the early 80s, Maria Rigol Ordi, who missed the family cavas that had accompanied her throughout her life, decided to start making her own cava. Together with her son, Francesc Manobens Rigol, she started a modest production from the cellar of their house in the heart of the village of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. Maria Rigol had been closely linked to the world of cava ever since childhood: in 1897, her grandfather, Modest Rigol Tubella, who was involved in marketing wine, entered the world of producing what at that time was still known as champagne.
