Wine route through Corpinnat

The fam­ily vine­yards of Re­caredo are lo­cated in Cor­pin­nat, a ter­ri­tory that me­an­ders be­tween forests, hills and streams, all dis­play­ing places of great beauty, shel­tered by the im­pos­ing moun­tain of Montser­rat.

As wine­grow­ers, Re­caredo spe­cialise in Brut Na­ture-style and long-aged sparkling Cor­pin­nat, es­tab­lish­ing a tacit pact with the ter­ri­tory and its ori­gins. An ac­com­plished and hon­est al­liance ca­pa­ble of ex­press­ing the sin­gu­lar­i­ties of a land­scape through wine.

The xarello va­ri­ety rep­re­sents 60% of the vine­yard plant­i­ngs in Re­caredo. A white grape that finds its nat­ural habi­tat in the Penedès re­gion, it pro­vides a fresh and lively acid­ity, and gives great struc­ture to long-aged sparkling wines.

Since 2014, all of the vine­yards have been planted ex­clu­sively with his­toric va­ri­eties from the Penedès, such as xarello, macabeu, par­el­lada, gar­nacha negra and monas­trell, all work­ing with the plants fol­low­ing the prin­ci­ples of bio­dy­nam­ics.

To re­spect the nat­ural en­vi­ron­ment as much as pos­si­ble and guar­an­tee the ex­cel­lent qual­ity of the grapes, Re­caredo have al­ways har­vested by hand, with low pro­duc­tions and high-qual­ity grapes. Its vine­yards are char­ac­terised by cal­care­ous soils and its cli­mate is typ­i­cally Mediter­ranean, with mild win­ters and dry, hot sum­mers.

The bot­tles of Re­caredo re­main in the dark­ness of the cel­lars for a min­i­mum of 30 months until they ob­tain an ex­cep­tion­ally unique per­son­al­ity. In the case of the most ex­clu­sive Re­caredo fam­ily wines, some are aged for nearly 30 years, while pre­serv­ing the del­i­cacy of time and an el­e­gant com­plex­ity of nu­ances.

Guided vis­its for groups and in­di­vid­u­als.

Lo­cated in a tra­di­tional square with a great so­cial and po­lit­i­cal his­tory, the restau­rant is very close to the local winer­ies. El Cen­tre’s cui­sine is hon­est and very well pre­pared. Fol­low­ing a healthy phi­los­o­phy and using top qual­ity prod­ucts, it is great value for money. We highly rec­om­mend the patates braves, grilled squid, mar­i­nated an­chovies, chicken wrap with curry may­on­naise, pig’s feet, escali­vada... and the home­made cheese cake. Its wine list is a faith­ful re­flec­tion of the local area, with few but well cho­sen ref­er­ences, served at the right tem­per­a­ture and in the right glass.
