Overview
Freixenet (“fresh‑eh‑net”), best known for its iconic “black bottle bubbly” Cordon Negro, rose from humble beginnings in rural Catalunya. Its roots trace back to 1861 and are intertwined with the legacy of two historic winemaking families, the Ferrers and the Salas. Their shared expertise, determination, and ingenuity laid the groundwork for what has become the world’s leading sparkling wine brand.
And the proof, as they say, is in the bottle: today, the most frequently popped corks in the world read “Freixenet.
