They practice dry biodynamic viticulture, a step beyond ecology. They exclusively produce vintage Brut Nature marked by the imprint of long aging. Their Corpinnat sparkling wines have forged a unique style defined by elegance and subtlety.

Vinification on the property. Vinification, elaboration, and aging are carried out entirely at Recaredo. Color obtained by macerating the must with the skins of the red grape for six hours.
Long aging The foam intake and bottle aging are done exclusively with natural cork stopper. The cork is sustainable, recyclable, and technically suitable for preserving the original essence of a long-aged sparkling wine. The second fermentation in the bottle is always carried out with a natural cork stopper, a hallmark of Recaredo for the long aging of all its wines. Recaredo Intens undergoes aging ranging from 40 to 50 months in the bottle. This sparkling wine is clarified manually on a pupitre and the disgorgement is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle, in an exercise of artisan mastery.
Manual disgorging without freezing The disgorgement (expulsion of the lees from the second fermentation in the bottle) is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle; artisanal professionalism and respect for the environment.
Pairing:
At Made in Spain, we start from the premise that it can be enjoyed at any time, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life. It is an exceptional gastronomic cava. Extraordinary for creative cuisine and to accompany fish or meats with complex flavors. It pairs very well with a caramelized foie gras mille-feuille, or accompanying smoked eel with scallions and local apples. It is ideal with a beurre noir skate, or with Challans duck with chard and watercress. Also with an excellent 100% acorn-fed ham. And as we always say at MadeinSpain, pair it with whatever you want.
