Corpinnat Recaredo Intens Rosat Brut Nature 2017
Availability: In stock
This exquisite Corpinnat sparkling wine is crafted from two red varieties, Monastrell and Grenache, both coming from estate-owned vineyards located in the highest area of the Penedès region.
The vineyards are farmed following biodynamic procedures. Thus, absolutely no chemicals or insecticides were used to cultivate the grapes.
In fact, the Recaredo winery, producer of Recaredo Intens Rosat Brut Nature, is a Demeter-certified wine producer.
The harvesting process was carried out by hand. The grapes were transported in little boxes to avoid bruising the fruit. Once in the cellar, they were macerated with their skins for 6 hours. Then 17% of this Spanish sparkling wine wine was aged in oak for 2 months.
Secondary fermentation took place inside the bottle. Finally, this Corpinnat sparkler was then aged for a minimum of 40 months.
All of the bottles of Recaredo Intens Rosat Brut Nature 2015 were manually disgorged.

---|---|
Nose | The blend of Grenache and Monastrell results in an attractive aromatic profile. Lively aromas of red fruit, particularly strawberries and redcurrants, alongside notes of aromatic herbs, pastry, flowers and spices. On the background, there is distinctive touch of liquorice and a mineral hint. |
Palate | Entering joyfully onto the palate, this Corpinnat is dry and yummy. Gently tart, with remembrances of wild berries, Mediterranean herbs and hints of violets and spices. This rosé sparkling wine of the Recaredo winery has some tiny, smooth bubbles and a long, zesty finish. |
Our personal opinion | A characterful, exquisitely crafted sparkler, Recaredo Intens Rosat Brut Nature 2015 is extremely pleasant and easy to drink. |
