The Identity of Our Long-Aged Rosé Sparkling Wine
Our rosé Corpinnat is born from a particular way of understanding both the vineyard and the passage of time. Produced exclusively from grapes grown in vineyards cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic viticulture, each vintage naturally reflects the character of the landscape and the balance achieved in the vineyard.
Extended ageing under natural cork allows the wine to evolve slowly, integrating an exceptionally fine mousse while preserving the freshness and purity of the fruit. The result is a rosé sparkling wine of remarkable depth and elegance, where delicacy coexists with complexity and the unique identity of each vintage.
A Dry, Vibrant and Profound Journey Through the Landscape
Recaredo Intens Rosat is conceived as an inherently gastronomic Corpinnat. Its Brut Nature style means that no dosage is added after disgorgement, allowing the wine to reveal itself in its purest and most transparent form. It offers a sensory journey that is dry, vibrant and profound, where ripe red fruit is complemented by subtle pastry and toasted notes, hints of dried fruit, and the distinctive limestone minerality that defines the soils of the Alt Penedès.
Ageing Under Natural Cork and Manual Disgorgement: The Artisanal Precision Behind Our Long-Aged Rosé
The personality of our long-aged rosé develops slowly in the quiet of our underground cellars. Throughout the entire ageing process on the lees, we use only natural cork closures—a decision that reflects our philosophy of crafting great sparkling wines and encourages the wine to evolve gradually and harmoniously.
The process culminates in manual disgorgement, carried out bottle by bottle at natural cellar temperature, preserving the purity and authentic expression of every vintage. Together with extended ageing, these traditional practices produce a rosé Corpinnat with an exceptionally fine, perfectly integrated mousse. Internationally acclaimed—including a 93-point rating from Robert Parker—this wine is crafted according to a philosophy that respects both the wine itself and vegan principles.
Frequently Asked Questions About Recaredo Rosé Corpinnat
What makes Recaredo Intens Rosat different from other rosé sparkling wines?
Its defining characteristic is its philosophy of production. It is made from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards, undergoes significantly longer ageing than most rosé sparkling wines, and is crafted exclusively as a Brut Nature. While many rosé sparkling wines are designed to be youthful and fruit-driven, Intens Rosat seeks structure, depth on the palate and complexity—qualities that can only be achieved through years of patient ageing on the lees.
Why is it described as an “inherently gastronomic” wine?
It is considered inherently gastronomic thanks to its vibrant acidity, subtle tannic structure and complete absence of added sugar. These qualities make it exceptionally versatile at the table, pairing effortlessly with everything from Japanese cuisine, such as tuna or salmon sashimi, to mountain rice dishes, roast poultry, carpaccios and dishes featuring delicate Mediterranean spices.
How does natural cork influence this rosé sparkling wine?
Natural cork is essential for sparkling wines intended for extended ageing. It allows ideal, finely controlled micro-oxygenation throughout the years spent ageing on the lees, protecting the wine from premature oxidation while encouraging the development of complex autolytic aromas—such as pastry and toasted notes—and preserving an exceptionally fine, integrated mousse.
What is the ideal serving temperature for this rosé?
To fully appreciate both its ageing-derived complexity and vibrant freshness, we recommend serving Recaredo Intens Rosat between 8°C and 10°C (46–50°F). Rather than using narrow flute glasses, we suggest serving it in generously proportioned white wine glasses, allowing the wine to open up and fully express its Mediterranean depth.
