[What is Japan Campaign CAVA DISCOVERY WEEK # 1]
In 2020, a new regulation for hippopotamus was announced, which tightened quality control and traceability, stipulated categories according to the aging period of hippopotamus, and four Spanish production areas. Furthermore, "Caba de Guarda Superior", which is the highest among the hippos, will be limited to environmentally friendly farming methods from 2025, and will be made from vineyards with a minimum age of 10 years. 2021 will be a very important year for the hippopotamus to embark on these new plans.
In Japan as well, as a Japan campaign, we will disseminate the appeal of hippopotamus throughout the year. This event "Ginza Hippo Discovery Week # 1" is the core of this campaign. In addition, in June, we held a seminar "CAVA Seminar" for professionals such as sommeliers.
