"Champagne is often enjoyed for its multi-layered aromas of fruit and brioche, finishing with a searing and elegant acidity," notes Peter Douglas, DipWSET, a vinicultural expert. "Yet, not all sparkling wines meet these lofty criteria, and some remarkable options exist that may surprise your palate and your wallet."
Corpinnat represents a collective of small, independent organic wineries that have opted out of the official Spanish quality hierarchy to craft sparkling wines. What sets Corpinnat apart from Cava is its stringent requirement that grapes must come from owned organic vineyards and be vinified on the winery's premises.
Each bottle must mature for a minimum of 18 months, surpassing Champagne's minimum requirement by six months. Many producers opt for extended aging, with some wines maturing for 60 months or longer. This extended bottle maturation allows the wines to evolve from fresh fruity aromas into complex profiles.
