Cradle of great sparkling wines Commitment to the 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 has been perfected following the traditional method. The climate, the land, the landscape, and a long experience in vine cultivation give this enclave the optimal conditions for making wines with a unique personality. 100% organic manual harvest Commitment to sustainability and the environment Based on manually harvested certified organic grapes, using historic Penedès varieties, CORPINNAT takes a further step towards the sustainability of the territory and landscape with a deep respect for indigenous varieties. 100% vinification on the property Commitment to the production process CORPINNAT sparkling wines are made from grapes vinified entirely on the property to highlight the winemaker's craft and guarantee style and quality from the source.
