The Brand

Name Can Bas that today designates the brand of its wines and the wine domain dates back to the year 1668. In Catalonia, it is a tradition to name country houses -whether large or small- with the name of the owner preceded by the word Can, which means house . Thus, the name Can Bas means house of Mr. Bas. Despite the fact that the farm and the farm already existed in the Middle Ages, the name that has survived to this day originated at the end of the XNUMXth century. In memory of that moment, the CAN BAS logo adopts a Roman family typeface in a tall box; classic, slender and inscribed in a rectangular frame topped with baroque-inspired scrolls.

In honor of antiquity and the medieval origins of the wine domain, the CAN BAS brand is also distinguished by its logotype. It is a Greek cross framed within a rhomboid figure of centrifugal composition, unusual in our lands. This cross crowns the belfry bell tower of Sant Joan Salerm, the Romanesque church owned by the Can Bas domain that saw the birth of a house, vineyards and crops. The cross is the symbol of this house, witness of its history and its evolution. The cross represents the crossroads where land, time, men, vineyards and wines come together.

Finally, in homage to the Mediterranean roots of the Can Bas wine domain and as an expression of its ideology, the CAN BAS brand establishes blue as its corporate color. A deep, warm, placid, luminous, reverberant blue; symbol of trust and sincerity. A blue that is a metaphor for time and a sign of a spirit. Blue honors all of us who have made it possible for Can Bas sea Can Bas.
