Gramona - Brut Corpinnat Imperial 2017

Straw yellow, with new golden highlights. On the nose there are subtle aromas of apple, biscuits, spices, flowers and a suggestive sea breeze note. Its close contact with yeast triggers ripe fruit aromas with toasty, nutty backgrounds. Its crisp, vigorous feel, combined with the prolonged fruitfulness of its good-natured mild acidity and a pleasing alcoholic voice give it endless possibilities for pairing with food.

2017 is the first Demeter-certified vintage of all the plots producing the four grape varieties for the blend of this historic sparkling wine. The 13 vine masters of the association Aliances per la terra work collectively from the desire to vivify the soils to achieve a more expressive, more concentrated and more complex grape. The association, promoted in 2015 by Gramona, shares the commitment to persevere in biodynamic practices to integrate into a landscape where energy flows, vital forces are balanced and the quality of the grapes maintains excellence year after year. The art of blending is to make the attributes of each variety combine with each other and create the best version of the whole. The identity of each one of the carefully selected and worked lands and the balance of their blend are what make Gramona Imperial unique and singular. The specificity of each vineyard adds elegance and seduction to the resulting symphony.

Minerally, with rich overtones of petrol and smoke that transition to underscore creamed apple and pear, preserved lemon, glazed tangerine and ground ginger on the palate. Fresh and well-knit, with a fine and creamy mousse. Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2027. 40,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.
