Recaredo Corpinnat Collection

The Art of Patient Waiting in Recaredo's Corpinnats

Every Recaredo Corpinnat is the result of a commitment that begins in our family-owned vineyards and unfolds over the years through respectful viticulture, artisanal winemaking, and extended ageing. We regard time as an essential ingredient, capable of revealing the depth, complexity, and expressive potential of historic grape varieties such as Xarel·lo, Macabeu, and Parellada.

Our collection embodies a way of working rooted in patience and fidelity to origin. From organic and biodynamic vineyard cultivation to ageing under natural cork and manual disgorgement carried out bottle by bottle, we preserve the crafts and expertise that form part of our identity. Each wine reflects our commitment to interpreting the Penedès landscape with honesty, respecting the rhythms of nature and allowing time itself to complete the wine’s character.

Corpinnat Brut Nature Sparkling Wines: The Purest Expression of Wine

All the Corpinnats in the Recaredo Collection are Brut Nature and are produced without adding dosage after disgorgement. This decision reflects our commitment to preserving the identity of every wine, allowing it to express with complete transparency the character of the vintage, the origin of the grapes, and the distinctive limestone soils of the Penedès.

During the manual disgorgement process, carried out bottle by bottle, we use the wine from the first disgorged bottle to top up the remaining bottles from the same batch. In this way, we avoid introducing any element that does not belong to the wine itself, preserving the balance achieved throughout the years of ageing. The result is a collection of Corpinnats that faithfully express their origin and the imprint of time, with no intervention beyond what is necessary to accompany them to their optimal moment of enjoyment.

Biodynamic Certification and the Value of the Landscape

Recaredo’s vineyards are cultivated according to the principles of organic farming, certified by the CCPAE, and biodynamic agriculture, certified by Demeter. We understand the vineyard as a living organism within a broader ecosystem, where the balance between soil, plants, animals, and human activity is essential to preserving the identity of the landscape.

Respectful stewardship of the land, the absence of synthetic herbicides and pesticides, and the promotion of biodiversity all contribute to maintaining living, fertile soils capable of expressing the unique characteristics of each individual vineyard plot with greater precision. This approach to viticulture seeks not only to produce grapes of the highest quality, but also to preserve the agricultural and natural heritage of the Penedès for future generations.

Every Corpinnat is born from this commitment to the land, reflecting the richness of landscapes shaped by centuries of viticulture and a profound determination to safeguard their biodiversity and unique identity.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Recaredo Collection Corpinnats

What sets the Corpinnat sparkling wines in the Recaredo Collection apart?

They are defined by three fundamental pillars: extended ageing, with a minimum of 30 months and exceeding 20 years for some of our most exceptional library releases; 100% organic and biodynamic viticulture based on estate-owned vineyards; and the removal of the lees through manual disgorgement at natural temperature, a traditional craft that we are committed to preserving.

Why are all Recaredo sparkling wines Brut Nature?

Because we believe wine should be a faithful expression of its origin. Every Recaredo Corpinnat is produced without adding dosage after disgorgement, preserving the identity that each wine has developed throughout its journey—from the vineyard to years of bottle ageing.

Our decision to produce only Brut Nature wines reflects a philosophy based on respect for the vintage, the land, and the care devoted to every stage of the winemaking process. With no added sugar, each sparkling wine expresses more clearly the personality of its grape varieties, the distinctive character of the Penedès’ limestone soils, and the conditions of each vintage.

It is our way of placing complete trust in the vineyard, in time, and in the ageing process, allowing every Corpinnat to reach the glass with its full authenticity and its ability to convey the landscape from which it comes.

How should a Recaredo Corpinnat be stored at home?

Thanks to the extended ageing carried out in our cellars, our wines are released at an ideal stage for enjoyment. Even so, they also have outstanding ageing potential. To keep a Recaredo Corpinnat in optimal condition, we recommend storing the bottle horizontally in a dark, vibration-free place at a stable temperature of between 14 and 16°C, similar to that of our underground cellars. If you do not have a wine cabinet, a cool cupboard can be a suitable short-term alternative. Once opened, we recommend sealing the bottle with a sparkling wine stopper, keeping it refrigerated, and enjoying it preferably within the next 24 hours, or within a maximum of 48 hours, to preserve its freshness, complexity, and aromatic expression.

How is shipping managed when purchasing directly from the winery online?

All orders placed through our online shop are prepared and dispatched directly from Recaredo in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. Every shipment is protected with packaging specially designed to ensure that each bottle travels in perfect condition and arrives safely at its destination. Our goal is for every Corpinnat and every still white wine to reach your table exactly as it has been cared for in our cellars, preserving the attention, time, and dedication that accompany every bottle from its very origin.
