Should this appellation for sparkling wine be added? Officially Clàssic Penedès is part of the DO Penedès, but the wines have "Clàssic Penedès" in the front label instead of DO Penedès and they might have another name as well, which would make adding the "Clàssic" part in the CT designation field a bit cluttered. Furthermore, due to the order of how appellation and designations are displayed, it would anyway show it wrongly as "Penedès Clàssic" if the options of display appellation is used in conjunction with the "Clàssic" designation. It would be much more straightforward if there was just an option to have Clàssic Penedès as an appellation.

Furthermore, the Colet-Navazos sparkling wines should be adjusted accordingly. The orange-labeled non-Reserva version was DO Penedès until the 2012 vintage and has been Clàssic Penedès since the 2013 vintage. The Reserva version (green label) was DO Penedès until the 2011 vintage and has been Clàssic Penedès since the 2012 vintage. The two different entries for the non-reserva version should be (re-)merged, too.

Thanks!

I have to give this some thought. I have a general aversion to making as Appellation level categories that are essentially defined by marketing bureaus. That said, I did make Corpinnat an Appellation, so there is direct precedent.
