Recaredo: a unique commitment
Audited and certified since 2003 by the international verification body Bureau Veritas — a testament to our commitment to transparency and honesty.
Our commitment to terroir — almost an obsession — leads us to cultivate only our own vineyards, planted with traditional Penedès grape varieties, with a historic focus on Xarel·lo. We practise biodynamic dry-farmed viticulture — a step beyond organic.
We harvest all our vineyards by hand to ensure meticulous grape selection and to guarantee their quality. In line with our commitment to ensuring the integrity of grape origin and the utmost transparency in our winemaking processes, we vinify, craft and age all our wines entirely on the Recaredo estate.
We use naturally occurring yeasts from our vineyards for both primary and secondary fermentation, which we initiate using rectified concentrated organic grape must. For some of our corpinnats, we use grape must from the same vineyard to initiate secondary fermentation in bottle. We make only vintage Brut Nature wines that bear the hallmark of extended ageing under natural cork. All our Corpinnat sparkling wines are hand-riddled on traditional racks and manually disgorged without freezing the neck of the bottle.
An unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, time and authenticity.

Territory
Our family vineyards are located in the Corpinnat territory, within the historic Penedès wine region, where sparkling wine production using the traditional method began in the late 19th century.
Life
We are artisans of the land. We practise organic and biodynamic dry-farmed viticulture, cultivating our vineyards without herbicides or insecticides, using only natural products.
Time
Time is our greatest ally; we keep patient vigil as it works its slow magic.
Winery
All vinification takes place on our family estate, where we craft Corpinnat sparkling wines that faithfully reflect the landscape from which they originate.
Bureau Veritas
In line with the principle of “saying what we do and doing what we say”, since 2003 Recaredo has ensured that all our work as grape growers and winemakers is independently audited and certified.
