The firm of Recaredo deserves recognition as one of the planet's premier sparkling wine producers, as their unique and exemplary Corpinnat shows superb cut, refinement and a smoky, leesy and serious quality that invites immediate comparison to luxe cuvées of Champagne. The handful of growers who make up the relatively new appellation of Corpinnat (think of it as A-list Cava) must meet exacting requirements for organic farming, 18 months' minimum aging for all wines and hand-harvesting of only native grape varieties. The final wine in bottle- as can be said of all the Recaredo wines- is uniformly superb and always one of our best values!
