How was made the corpinnat sparkling wine Torelló 2 vintages 2019 2020 Brut Nature?
The bunches arrive whole at the cellar and, before passing all the grapes over the selection table, a separate soft pressing is done of each variety. We use the Inertys technology in our presses which protects the juice from oxidation during the pressing phase. In winter we do the assemblage of the different varieties, the bottling and afterwards the second fermentation in the bottle.

A minimum of 36 months in the bottle. Each year we do the poignettage – shaking the bottle – with the objective of mixing the yeast with the wine again. In this way we enrich the sparkling wine with aromas and tastes. It is a Brut Nature without the addition of sugars, and the date of disgorging is indicated on the back label.
