Recaredo’s Intens Rosat is the first biodynamic cava ever to receive the Demeter seal of approval. Recaredo started practising biodynamic agriculture in 2006. Four years later, 50 hectares of own vineyards located in Alt Penedès were certified.
Research project Recaredo col·labora amb la Facultat de Veterinària de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) en un projecte de recerca centrat en la integració d’ovelles a les vinyes. L’objectiu és ensinistrar el bestiar oví per a no menjar-se les fulles dels ceps i pasturar únicament les herbes que conformen la coberta vegetal espontània. La […]
