Success of the presentation of CORPINNAT in Logroño before the best Master of Wine in the world

15 June 2018 The presentation of CORPINNAT this Thursday June 14 in Logroño in the framework of the 9th symposium of the Master of Wine Institute has been a success. The novelty that represents a collective mark of the EU that aims to sigularitzar great sparkling wines that are made in the heart of the Penedès together with the fact that they have driven six consolidated companies of the sector of the cava that beyond being competition in the market have joined forces to cooperate in a common project, open and inclusive, have been the two factors that have interested the most at the symposium, which has been held in the city of Logroño. CORPINNAT has taken part in the products fair with its own stand where representatives of the six bodegas driving the brand (Gramona, Llopart, Nadal, Recaredo, Sabaté and Coca and Torelló) were present and where they could taste products from each winery. The two co-presidents of the Associació de Viticultors i Elaboradors CORPINNAT (AVEC), Xavier Gramona and Ton Mata, took part in the gala dinner that hosted the symposium during which they had the opportunity to explain in public what is and what objectives pursues our brand collective From here, we want to thank the organizers for their invitation and we celebrate that today CORPINNAT is already a well-known brand all over the world.

CORPINNAT is established, the European brand of guarantee that distinguishes great sparkling wines made in the heart of the Penedès

10 April 2018 Sant Sadurní d’Anoia 10th April 2018. The first bottles with the CORPINNAT brand of guarantee will be launched on the first of October. This new project promoted by the  Gramona, Llopart, Nadal, Recaredo,  Sabaté i Coca and Torelló wineries, was established with the purpose of adding prestige to the sparkling wines made in the heart of the Penedès region.  This new guarantee brand is open to all wineries that make sparkling wine within the CORPINNAT  territorial delimitation and which comply with the strict commitments established by the rules of regulation: manual harvest, organic certified grapes, use of historic varieties – placing special emphasis on autochthonous ones-, integral vinification on the premises of the winery, ageing longer than 18 months, a minimum guaranteed price to the viticulturist with a gradual increase and an undertaking to thoroughness and self-commitment.

CORPINNAT consists of a geographicalregion  which brings together 46 municipalities – every one of them from the Alt Penedès and some from the Baix Penedès, Alt Camp, L’Anoia and Baix Llobregat – where for geographical, geological, climatological and social reasons, autochthonous grape varieties for sparkling wine making  have always  been grown. The CORPINNAT territory has historically concentrated the majority of Cava production and other sparkling wines made by the traditional method..

As far as territory is concerned CORPINNAT consists of a compact area of 22,966 hectares of vineyards and is defined by the pre-coastal depression and adjacent hills. The CORPINNAT surface represents 61% of the total Cava surface area which is 33,706 hectares.

The integrating spirit of this initiative lead by six companies from the sector – which together make more than 2 million bottles per year – is perfectly reflected in  the regulation of use of the brand which allows all those wineries that comply with quality and territory requirements to join  regardless of whether they are in the DO Cava,  the DO Penedès or in neither.

The CORPINNAT Brand will be placed on the main label of all sparkling wines made by member wineries which will be required to comply with the regulations mentioned before. In order for the wineries to be able to use the brand, they will also have to pass an initial   external audit and another yearly one to certify compliance of these requirements

The CORPINNAT brand has been registered in the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUiPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and is property of the CORPINNAT Winemakers and Viticulturists Association (AVEC) which is the organization founded by the six promoters of the initiative that is open to all those cellars who would like to become members and make use of this brand with their sparkling wines. The AVEC board is the maximum governing body of the association and each cellar will have a vote, whereas the management board consists of a representative from each one of the six cellars that have promoted the project. Joint ad-honorem presidents of AVEC are Xavier Gramona and Ton Mata.
