Winemaking on the property. The vinification, elaboration and aging are carried out entirely in Recaredo. Color obtained by maceration of the must with the red grape skins for six hours.
Long aging. The foam intake and the aging in the bottle is carried out exclusively with a natural cork stopper. Cork is sustainable, recyclable and technically suitable for preserving the original meaning of a long-aged sparkling wine. The second fermentation in the bottle is always carried out with a natural cork stopper, a hallmark of the Recaredo house for the long aging of absolutely all its wines. Recaredo Intens is aged for between 40 and 50 months in the bottle. This sparkling wine is clarified manually at the desk and disgorging is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle, in an exercise of artisanal mastery.
Manual disgorging without freezing. The disgorging (expulsion of the lees from the second fermentation in the bottle) is carried out by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle; artisan professionalism and respect for the environment.
Pairing:
En Made in Spain We start from the premise that it can be taken at any time, at any time, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life.
It is a gastronomic cava par excellence. Extraordinary for creative cuisine and to accompany fish or meat with complex flavors. It goes very well with a caramelized foie millefeuille, or accompanying a smoked eel with chives and local apples. It is ideal with a beurre noir ray, or with duck Challans with chard and watercress. Also with an excellent 100% acorn ham. And as we always say at MadeinSpain, combine with whatever you want.
