Corpinnat is a European Union collective brand founded in April 2018 to identify the great sparkling wines made in the heart of the historic Penedès, an area of 997 km2 covering, wholly or partly, 46 municipalities in the districts of Alt Penedès, Baix Penedès, Alt Camp, Garraf, Baix Llobregat and Anoia. It currently comprises 21 wineries: Gramona, Llopart, Nadal, Recaredo, Sabaté i Coca, Torelló, Huguet de Can Feixes, Júlia Bernet, Mas Candí, Can Descregut, Pardas, Bufadors, Cisteller, Viader, Mas de la Basserola, Kripta, Demost, Mas Bertran, AT Roca, Mir and Torné & Bel.
The brand operates under its own rigorous and demanding rules of use, which guarantee the highest standards both in the vineyard and in the winery and help to ensure the survival of the craft, the sector and the land: 100% organic vineyards and process; hand harvesting; winemaking entirely in the winery for the whole company (corpinnats and still wines); long ageing (from 18 months); commitment to historical varieties (minimum 90%); estate-owned vineyards and long-term contracts with supplying winegrowers at a guaranteed minimum price; and annual external audits. This production model not only ensures the excellence of the wines but also values human labour, dignifies the winegrower’s craft and strengthens the bond with the land.
