Sparkling dry
Corpinnat “Gramona Imperial Brut 2019 is one of the most striking examples of modern Catalan sparkling wine, reflecting the philosophy of the “Gramona” house: long aging, biodynamic viticulture and a very precise balance between freshness and creaminess.
The wine is made from classic Penedès region varieties – 58% ‘Xarel·lo’, 33% ‘Macabeo’, 5% ‘Parellada’ and 4% ‘Chardonnay’. The majority of the grapes are grown on organically and biodynamically managed farms around the town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia.
The aroma reveals ripe white fruits, citrus peel, notes of white flowers and delicate tones of buttery dough, brioche and toasted almonds, resulting from the very long aging with yeast. The texture of the wine is silky and creamy, the fresh acidity gives the wine energy and precision. The aftertaste is long, mineral.
An important part of this wine is aging. The Imperial Brut 2019 has been aged with yeast for over 50 months, giving it not only complexity but also a special textural depth. The dosage is very moderate – around 4 g/l of sugar, so the style is close to the “Extra Brut” category.
Corpinnat is a designation of origin for sparkling wines produced in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. This means a commitment to quality and authenticity, ensuring that the wines meet the strict production regulations and quality standards set by the Corpinnat association, and ensuring that you enjoy an exceptional sparkling wine. The region’s unique territorial climate, soil and grape varieties contribute to the exceptional character and quality of the wine. The vineyards are cultivated organically, ensuring the utmost respect for the environment and the expression of the terroir. The grapes are carefully hand-picked and only the best berries are selected to make the wine.
Serve at 8-10 °C as an aperitif, with shellfish, light snacks, white fish, seafood, oysters, poultry with creamier sauces.
Gramona is one of the most prestigious Spanish sparkling wine producers, with over a century of viticultural tradition in the Penedès region of Catalonia. The family winery has become famous for its commitment to quality, ecology and the philosophy of long-aged wines.
Organic vineyards and biodynamic philosophy
Gramona vineyards are cultivated organically and biodynamically, respecting the principles of nature. The family's approach to viticulture is based on a belief in the cycles of the moon and the influence of the universe on the soil and vines.
History and tradition: from 1881 to today
In 1945, Bartomeu and Josep Lluís Gramona began a new era in winemaking - they were the first to establish the concept of long-aged sparkling wines in Spain.
In 1951, the first Gramona III Lustros was created, released in 1961.
In 2021 The Gramona family celebrated 100 years as a sparkling wine producer and 140 years as a grape grower.
Today, the Gramona story is continued by the fifth and sixth generations – Jaume, Roc and Leonard Gramona – following the principles of sustainability and quality.
Traditional method and exceptional quality
Gramona wines are produced using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), identical to champagne production, and their maturation period ranges from 18 months to even 12 years – more than double the standard Cava requirements.
What makes Gramona sparkling wines stand out?
In addition to the traditional Cava grapes (Xarel·lo, Macabeo, Parellada), they also use Chardonnay, which gives it an elegant and international style.
Taste: aromas of nuts, freshly baked pastries and autolysis (yeast decomposition).
Naturally low in sugar, but with a balanced and delicate acidity.
A new generation of quality: Corpinnat
After a long-standing commitment to improving Cava’s reputation, in 2019 Gramona left the official DO Cava designation of origin and became one of the founding members of the Corpinnat association. Corpinnat means “born in the heart” and represents the highest quality sparkling wines produced exclusively in the Penedès region, following strict organic production and long-term maturation requirements.
