2020 Celler Credo VI-D-RE BIO

Vi-d-re is a creation of Antoni Mata Casanovas, the second generation of the Recaredo family. Discreet and modest, Antoni Mata Casanovas has worked tirelessly on the management, creativity, representation and oenology of Recaredo. Under the concept of VI-D-RE "transparency leads the way" and after more than 60 years of winemaking, Antoni Mata has conceived Vi-d-re, a variety of fermented xarello, matured and closed with only glass, without contact. come with any other material. The 100% Xarel lo grapes for Vi-d-re come from a family owned vineyard - a mainly calcareous terrain characterized by a loamy soil texture (balanced mix of sand, silt and clay ). Located in the province of Alt Penedès, this plot has been cultivated according to the principles of organic, biodynamic farming. Between the tendrils we let the plant cover grow spontaneously. This cover plays a vital role: it loosens the soil, regulates water retention and runoff (essential in the dry farming system we use), and helps to promote biodiversity and maintain balance in the vineyard's ecosystem. Natural plant treatments (phytotherapy) are applied to the vines to control the presence of fungi and strengthen the vine's defenses. All Celler Credo grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the excellent quality of the fruit.

Vi-d-re embodies transparency and reflects the quality of the grapes used and the work done in the vineyard. It contains no added sulfites, only those naturally produced by yeasts during the fermentation process (<10 mg/l) so a 100% Vin Natural. The must fermentation takes place in 32-litre carboys, where the wine is then kept for about five months before being bottled. Celler Credo wines always ferment on native yeast isolated from our vineyards. Vi-d-re tries to express the terroir as fully as possible and can have completely natural sediments due to our minimal intervention. The VI-D-RE is a special pure style wine, great for wine/food combinations! This organic and biodynamic white wine is a limited edition and is only made in the good years. Of the 2020 vintage 1,208 bottles were made and these are all numbered.
