Recaredo Corpinnat

What is Corpinnat? Let’s be clear - it’s not “Cava.” It’s a small group of high quality sparkling wine producers that banded together and dared to be different. Corpinnat is a brand, not a region. However, its only made in the heart of the Penedès region in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia.

Corpinnat is all about terroir and quality. Similar to what grower champagne producers do - artists in their zone. A craft that creates style and elegance in the bottle.

They adhere to stricter standards which is why their wines are so good! Here’s what makes it a Corpinnat so special:
- 100 % organic grapes, sustainable farming promoting environment conservation
- All hand harvested
- Lower yields
- Indigenous varietals in the blend
- Made in the traditional method
- Grown, vinified on the premises of the winery
- Longer ageing requirements (3 categories of minimum 18, 30 and 60 months)
