In times of confinement, life on the vineyards does not stop. And not in the cellar either.

CORPINNAT values are the main capital of our collective brand and always have the people as a reference.

CLÀSSIC PENEDÈS AND CORPINNAT CLOSE WITHOUT AGREEMENT A FIRST PHASE OF CONVERSATIONS TO CREATE A NEW DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN OF PENEDÈS SPARKLING WINES 

The wineries producing Clàssic Penedès and CORPINNAT have closed the first phase of conversations for the creation of a future Designation of Origin of Penedès sparkling wines without having reached a definitive agreement. Both sides highly value this period of dialogue, as agreements have been reached on some issues, although differences have been reached on others. After the last meeting held on March 11, the two parties have decided to continue working internally from each group on the points of disagreement without being conditioned on an immediate schedule.

Both the objective and the desire to promote a new DO of Penedès sparkling wines whose main values ​​are the defense of the territory and the quality of the product remain intact on both sides. These ten months of talks have served to approximate positions and reach important agreements for the future DO, but after this period of contacts we have come to the conclusion that the points of discrepancy must be matured internally.

Both the developers of Clàssic Penedès and those of CORPINNAT want to express our commitment to dialogue with any group for the good of the whole sector and the territory.

The ten wineries that make up the EU collective brand today CORPINNAT -Gramona, Llopart, Nadal, Recaredo, Sabaté i Coca, Torelló, Huguet-Can Feixes, Júlia Bernet, Mas Candí and Can Descregut- have participated together in the first edition of the Barcelona Wine Week-BWW held at Fira de Barcelona on 3, 4 and 5 February. The CORPINNAT space shared by all the wineries was in Hall 8 of the fair, between E and F. Streets. During the three days of the exhibition, the CORPINNAT space was one of the busiest in the fair. Dozens of professionals from the wine sector (distributors, importers, restaurateurs, prescribers, journalists, etc ...) approached the stands of CORPINNAT to know in more detail the values ​​of our brand and to taste our quality sparkling wines. The official committee that inaugurated the fair on Monday, headed by the Minister of Agriculture, Teresa Jordà, and the President of the Barcelona Wine Week, Javier Pagés, also visited the CORPINNAT space and were received by the owners of the ten adhered cellars, with whom they shared a drink and made a toast.

The first edition of Barcelona Wine Week has brought together more than 500 wineries representing all designations of origin. According to official data of the organizers, the sample has attracted more than 15,000 visitors and CORPINNAT has had the opportunity to participate in it as an EU collective brand, which makes us very proud. We look forward to seeing you in the next edition, which may be next year. We sure will be there and hope to be more. Thanks to everyone who has visited us and, above all, to all the teams in the ten wineries that have made it possible.
