The 2017 vintage of the sparkling wine Kripta is the first marketed under the Corpinnat label.
Produced by Celler Kripta - Agustí Torelló Mata winery, this Spanish sparkling wine comes in a very attractive packaging: a glass amphora that highlights its unique qualities.
Produced with no addition of sugar, this Brut Nature Gran Reserva Corpinnat is made from a traditional blend of 45% Macabeo, 30% Parellada and 25% Xarel·lo.
Located in some of the best areas in Penedès, the organically certified grapevines are around 60 years old.
Separately fermented, the base wines were blended and bottled to complete secondary fermentation. After that, the sparkling wine Kripta 2017 was aged for a minimum of 8 years before being disgorged in May 2026.
The production of this organic and vegan brut nature sparkling wineis 18,000 bottles.
| Appearance | The Corpinnat sparkling wine Kripta is deep straw with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Complex and seductive, this vegan and organic blend of Macabeo, Xarel·loand Parellada smells of white fruit compote, combined with remembrances of pastry, almonds and nuts, some mineral and balsamic remembrances, and a dash of smoke and flint. |
| Palate | Elegant and creamy, this sparkling wine by bodega Agustí Torelló Mata-Celler Kripta has a citrusy acidity enlivened by some tiny, melting bubbles. Notes of vanilla, butter and ripe white fruit over a background of undergrowth, toast, balsam and flowers. Sophisticated and evocative, with a long, evocative finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Classy and food-friendly, the Corpinnat sparkling wine Kripta 2017 is a nice celebration wine. |
