Corpinnat

Corpinnat is a European Union collective brand established in 2018 by a group of sparkling wine producers in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. These producers aim to distinguish their wines through stricter production standards than those required by the Denominación de Origen (DO) Cava, including organic farming, manual harvesting, and specific vinification processes. Corpinnat is newsworthy due to the recent departure of Juvé & Camps, a historically significant cava producer, from the DO Cava to join Corpinnat. This move highlights growing dissatisfaction with the DO Cava's regulations and intensifies the competition between the two entities. Juvé & Camps' decision is seen as a significant blow to DO Cava, exacerbating existing sales and leadership challenges, while simultaneously strengthening Corpinnat's position as an alternative for producers seeking to emphasize quality and terroir. The shift reflects a broader trend of producers seeking closer connections with consumers amid market uncertainty.
