MEMÒRIA
An indelible imprint on the mind of lived experiences, emotions and memories.
Memòria is made from Xarel·lo grapes from the old vines of the La Pineda estate, in plots planted as bush vines in the 1960s.
With these grapes we make our longest-aged Corpinnat, spending more than 60 months resting in the cellar, during which the wine gains complexity and depth, developing a pronounced umami character.
A sparkling wine that speaks of the vineyards we come from, the passing of time and the moments we want to remember.

Tasting note
Golden yellow with amber highlights and fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, the long ageing reveals aromas of ripe fruit, nuts, toast and subtle ageing notes.
The palate is surprisingly fresh, with a creamy texture, good structure and balanced acidity. Notes of baked white fruit, fennel and delicate hints of sherry emerge. Its umami character adds depth and a food-friendly dimension, with a long, dry, lingering finish.
