1261 – CORPINNAT LLOPART ROSÉ BRUT NATURE MICROCOSMOS – 24 Months of Ageing

Wine characteristics: The purest essence of the Llopart universe reflected in this sparkling rosé Brut Nature. A surprising and gastronomic sparkling rosé, the result of a blend of eclectic varieties where the scarce monestrell gives it its great personality. Light cold maceration to extract aromas and color from the skin of the grapes, prior to gentle pressing.

The vineyard: Located in a unique enclave, in the municipality of Subirats, in the mountain area of ​​our region, the Can Llopart estate comprises 500 hectares between vineyard and forest at an average altitude of 360 meters. The 102 hectares of our own vineyard are the essence of our personality. We cultivate the land in an ecological way, according to the parameters of sustainable cultivation, with the utmost respect for the environment. The peculiar geological configuration of our estate, with its rugged orography in the form of slopes and terraces, and with a shallow soil depth, gives rise to vines with a large root extension, limited vigour and one of the lowest productions in our wine-growing area.

Elaboration: Manual harvesting of the selected vines and pressing of the entire grape to maintain its properties as much as possible. We ferment the musts at a low temperature to preserve the freshest aromas in the wine. The blend of base wines is bottled at the beginning of the year and the bottles are placed in racks where, at constant temperature and humidity, in the dark, they will rest for more than 24 months. After aging, we cut the neck to remove the lees from the wine, and cover with the definitive cork.

Varieties: 55% Pinot Noir, 35% Monastrell and Grenache 10%

Graduation: 11.9% Vol
