Wines like Corpinnat
A breakaway collective mark used by Penedès producers who left Cava, with stricter self-imposed rules. Below: what to try next, grouped by the direction you want to travel.
Refine
What do you like about Corpinnat?
Optional — the results below already work without it. But “I like Malbec” is at least four different preferences wearing one name, and saying which one you mean changes the answer substantially. Only qualities this wine actually has are offered.
What these words mean
- The citrus and orchard fruit
- Lemon, lime, green apple, pear. The signature of a cool-climate white — quieter and less perfumed than tropical fruit, and a different thing from the acidity it usually travels with.
- How fresh and crisp it is
- Acidity is what makes your mouth water and makes a wine feel refreshing rather than heavy. It is the single most useful thing to know about your own taste.
- How light it is
- A wine you can drink without it feeling like a commitment. Usually lower in alcohol as well as lighter in the mouth.
- The bubbles
- Carbonation, from a light prickle to a full sparkling mousse.
- The creamy, rounded texture
- A soft, almost dairy-like roundness. In white wine it usually comes from malolactic fermentation or from time on the lees, not from the grape.
- The savoury, meaty side
- Leather, olive, cured meat, dried herbs, tobacco. It is what people mean by calling a wine "serious" rather than "fruity", and it comes with age as well as with place.
Looking for something keeping the bubbles, while moving away from too fizzy.
- You said you like the bubbles and that it is too fizzy. Both are about carbonation, so they pull the same axis in opposite directions — the dislike is applied and the like is set aside.
