Organic
Produced by the Torelló winery, a member of the Corpinnat association of producers, the wine Torelló 3a 21/22/23 Brut Nature is an unconventional Spanish sparkling wine made from a blend of three vintages.
This non-vintage Corpinnat brut nature sparkling wine was sourced from Finca Can Martí, a 135-hectare estate with clay-limestone soils farmed following the principles of organic agriculture.
This blended brut nature organic sparkling wine is made from the traditional Penedès varieties: Macabeo (52%), Xarel·lo (36%) and Parellada (12%). The grapes come from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 vintages. The wine from the 2021 vintage was briefly aged in oak barrels.
After a manual harvest and a meticulous selection, the grapes were pressed under nitrogen to protect the must from oxidation using the Inertys system. After completing alcoholic fermentation, the sparkling wine Torelló 3a 21/22/23 Brut Nature went through secondary fermentation and was aged for no less than 36 months.
Finally, this small-batch Corpinnat organic sparkling wine - one of the bottlings of the Microvinificacions project of bodega Torelló - was disgorged with no sugar added on the date printed on the back label.
