One of the best representatives of Spanish sparkling wine, Cava. Made in Sant Sadurní by an authentic family winery with a sole focus on quality. This Cava is crafted from the Catalan trilogy, namely Xarello, Macabeo, and Parellada, with a small percentage of Chardonnay, which further enhances its elegance. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, following the traditional method, for 60 months 'sur lattes', with a dosage of 8 g/l.

Straw yellow in color. Fine mousse. Fresh apple notes in aroma and taste. Light notes of ripe fruit due to bottle aging, mild acidity, a hint of nuttiness, and a pleasantly round mouthfeel. Plenty of flavor and a healthy dry finish. This is a top sparkling Cava that leaves many significantly more expensive Champagnes far behind in terms of quality and price. Absolute top quality as you would expect from the Gramona house.

ABOUT CORPINNAT

Gramona is part of Corpinnat, which was founded in 2016 by a number of (high-end) producers who distanced themselves from DO Cava primarily because the Cava model does not allow for a distinction in quality. Corpinnat is therefore, just like Cava (or Champagne), a sparkling wine made using the traditional method, meaning a second fermentation in the bottle, which creates the bubbles. It is thus a brand name established by a number of quality producers who wanted to distinguish themselves. With Corpinnat as a protected brand (like a Grand Cru or a Grande Reserva), the naming is determined not only by the region but also by the terroir, which is much more than just the area; it also involves climate, grape varieties, the vineyard, and the winery.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Gramona Corpinnat Imperial Gran Reserva Brut toont een elegante strogele kleur met een fijne mousse en een fris, appelig aroma, gevolgd door tonen van rijp fruit, subtiele noten en een milde zuurgraad die zorgt voor een rond mondgevoel en een gezond droge afdronk. Door die fijne zuren en de bruisende textuur reinigt de wijn het palet en tilt hij ziltige en delicate smaken naar voren, waardoor hij perfect matcht met schelp- en schaaldieren en ideaal is voor feestelijke, terras- of romantische momenten. Probeer hem bij rauwe oesters of ceviche om de frisheid te accentueren, bij licht gegrilde coquilles met een boter-citroensaus of bij tempura en gefrituurde garnalen voor een mooie balans tussen knapperigheid en elegantie.

The very dynamic family business Gramona has existed since 1881, currently the 5th generation of mainly 150 ha own vineyards makes formidable sparkling wines. Traditional, but using modern technology. Since the opening of the new Bodega in 2006 just outside the village, Gramona is also technically completely ready for the coming years. In a Research and Development program, research is conducted at a very high level into climate change, ecological viticulture, sustainability and everything related to the formation and preservation of the mousse. The oenologist Jaume Gramona, who runs the company with his cousin Xavier, teaches at the University of Tarragona. Gramona has a low yield per hectare for Cava producers. In the summer, a green harvest is done, with an excess of bunches being cut away. The company makes its own yeasts and liqueur d'expédition in a more than a hundred years old solera system. Gramona's stock is about 1.5 million bottles. The Cava market is dominated by large houses with huge volumes. Top companies like Gramona have a completely different philosophy and work exclusively on quality. Currently, they have three locations in Sant Sadurni for the production of their wines.

Gramona is, first and foremost, always concerned with maximum quality in the wines and champagnes. This aim is reflected in every moment and in every step of the process (pruning, harvesting, production, selection). This ethos is conveyed in the coat of arms: "Viti, Vini, Vitae": the vine, wine, life, a synthesis of our history. As a company with a long tradition , respect for the area and nature is of paramount importance. At Gramona they use the exceptional terroir and the experience in the traditional production ("Champenois") to produce high-quality and, above all, very elegant Cavas.
