  • SHORT HISTORY: For almost a century, Recaredo has maintained a firm commitment to produce terroir wines that reflect the landscapes of the Alt Penedès (Barcelona) as honestly and transparently as possible. They make only vintage brut nature cavas with a distinctive character marked by long ageing.

    (MICRO)CLIMATE: As a result of the proximity of the Mediterranean, Recaredo’s vineyards experience mild wintersand hot, dry summers. The area has a temperate Mediterranean climate, with an average annual rainfall of approx. 530 mm.

    TERROIR: Made with grapes from vineyards that grow in highly calcareous, loamy soils. The soil provides good levels of drainage in the upper areas and a higher water retention capacity in lower areas, where the soil depth is also greater.

    VITICULTURE: Plant cover grows spontaneously between the vines; this cover crop plays a crucial role, fostering biodiversity, loosening the soil and regulating water retention and drainage (essential with the dry farming system practised).
