Commitment
A commitment to wines that truly express their terroir
Corpinnats made with minimal intervention
Vinification on the family estate
A commitment to preserving the integrity of grape origin
We grow, vinify, craft and age our sparkling wines on the Recaredo family estate in the historic centre of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia — an approach that reflects our commitment to preserving the integrity of grape origin and ensuring maximum transparency throughout every stage of winemaking.
Crafting and ageing on the estate means every Recaredo bottle speaks with its own distinctive voice — without intermediaries — from vine to glass. It’s a way of preserving the authenticity of a landscape and expressing it with absolute sincerity.
We make only vintage Brut Nature wines
Purity and authenticity, with no compromises
We remain true to a way of understanding sparkling wine that centres on the authentic expression of the grape and the landscape it comes from. That’s why we make only Brut Nature wines — with no added sugar at disgorgement — in order to preserve the purity and natural balance of each vintage.
We produce exclusively vintage wines, never blending grapes from different harvests. This approach allows us to express the unique character of each vintage and the subtle dialogue between the vineyard, the climate, and the patience of time. At Recaredo, each bottle is an honest reflection of a year, a place, and a way of working.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts
An authentic expression of the landscape
We craft sparkling wines using elements sourced exclusively from our own vineyards. Over twenty years of research and patient work have enabled us to isolate naturally occurring yeasts from our vineyards, which we use for both primary and secondary fermentation of all the Corpinnat sparkling wines we make.
Since 2014, all our corpinnats have undergone primary fermentation with indigenous yeasts. And since 2020, secondary fermentation — the process that gives sparkling wine its bubbles — has also been carried out using our own yeasts.
This pioneering approach allows us to deepen our vision of terroir wines — wines that remain true to the most authentic expression of the Penedès and are crafted with the utmost respect for their origin.
Secondary fermentation with must
One more step towards crafting wines that truly reflect their terroir
Since the 2017 vintage, we have initiated the secondary fermentation in bottle using organic rectified concentrated grape must, replacing refined sucrose derived from organic cane sugar. The must contains a high concentration of natural sugars from the grapes themselves, which makes it well-suited for tirage, subsequent secondary fermentation, and long ageing.
For certain Corpinnat wines, we initiate secondary fermentation using grape must from the same vineyard as the base wine, completing the circle.
Using our own must or organic rectified concentrated must allows us to craft sparkling wines exclusively from elements originating in the vineyard.
Base wines of absolute purity
Tailored vinification to capture the essence of the landscape
At Recaredo, we craft our base wines with meticulous care, fully aware that they are the soul of our Corpinnat sparkling wines. We seek the purest possible expression of the grape, the vineyard, and the landscape from which our wines are born. For this reason, we adapt the vinification process to the unique character of each wine, respecting its individuality and personality.
We work with 600-litre Austrian and German oak barrels, and large-format 2,500-litre casks, always with a very light toast that preserves the wine’s freshness and varietal authenticity. As a result, our base wines are not merely a preliminary step — they are a statement of commitment to identity and excellence.
