CORPINNAT is a Collective Trademark of the European Union born with the intention of distinguishing the great sparkling wines made in the heart of Penedès, from 100% organic grapes harvested by hand and vinified entirely on the property. A unique commitment Vintage Brut Nature Their commitment to the terroir – almost an obsession – leads them to cultivate only their own vineyards with traditional varieties of Penedès, historically focusing on xarel·lo. They practice dry biodynamic viticulture, a step beyond ecology. They exclusively produce vintage Brut Nature marked by the imprint of long aging. Their Corpinnat sparkling wines have forged a unique style defined by elegance and subtlety. Technical Sheet Winery: Own Vineyards, in Sant Sadurní de Noia (Barcelona), manual harvest. Corpinnat: former Cava sparkling wine Vintage: 2019 Alcohol content: 12% Variety: 56% Monastrell 44% Garnacha Tasting notes: rather light pink color with fine bubbles. Nose: Aromas of ripe red fruit with deep spicy touches. Balsamic nuances that provide freshness and light floral and toasty notes. Palate: Well-integrated carbonic, red fruit presence prevails once again. Good acidity and persistence, it is broad and luscious. Good long finish. Service temperature: 8-10ºC Elaboration: The "intense" color is obtained by macerating the must with the skins of the red grape for a few hours. In order to provide more structure and elegance, a part of the base wine of Recaredo Intens Rosat Brut Nature undergoes a light aging in oak barrels. Vinification on the property. Vinification, elaboration, and aging are carried out entirely at Recaredo. Color obtained by macerating the must with the skins of the red grape for six hours. Long aging The foam intake and bottle aging are done exclusively with natural cork stopper. The cork is sustainable, recyclable, and technically suitable for preserving the original essence of a long-aged sparkling wine. The second fermentation in the bottle is always carried out with a natural cork stopper, a hallmark of Recaredo for the long aging of all its wines. Recaredo Intens undergoes aging ranging from 40 to 50 months in the bottle. This sparkling wine is clarified manually on a pupitre and the disgorgement is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle, in an exercise of artisan mastery. Manual disgorging without freezing The disgorgement (expulsion of the lees from the second fermentation in the bottle) is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle; artisanal professionalism and respect for the environment. Pairing: At Made in Spain, we start from the premise that it can be enjoyed at any time, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life. It is an exceptional gastronomic cava. Extraordinary for creative cuisine and to accompany fish or meats with complex flavors. It pairs very well with a caramelized foie gras mille-feuille, or accompanying smoked eel with scallions and local apples. It is ideal with a beurre noir skate, or with Challans duck with chard and watercress. Also with an excellent 100% acorn-fed ham. And as we always say at MadeinSpain, pair it with whatever you want. Cradle of great sparkling wines Commitment to origin The CORPINNAT territory is the cradle of the great sparkling wines of the historic wine region of Penedès, south of Barcelona, where the production of these wines began in the late 19th century and where their production has been perfected following the traditional method. The climate, the land, and the landscape, along with extensive experience in vine cultivation, provide this enclave with the optimal conditions for the production of wines with a unique personality. 100% organic manual harvest Commitment to sustainability and the environment Starting from manual harvests of certified organic grapes, based on historical varieties of Penedès, CORPINNAT takes a further step towards the sustainability of the territory and landscape with a deep respect for native varieties. 100% vinification on the property Commitment to the production process CORPINNAT sparkling wines are made with grapes vinified entirely on the property to value the winemaker's craft and guarantee the style and quality from the source. Long aging Commitment to quality The climate, the land, and the traditional varieties of the CORPINNAT territory provide these sparkling wines with a bottle aging capacity that will always exceed 18 months. Likewise, the production of a sparkling wine that exceeds 30 months, and another that exceeds 60 months of aging in the cellar, is proof of the commitment of CORPINNAT wineries to
