General features
General Information
Gramona Imperial is a creation of the family-run winery Gramona, a firm that relies on an excellent terroir and its expertise in long aging processes to craft sparkling wines of outstanding quality. This sparkling wine is made from organic grapes, hand-harvested from the macabeo, xarel.lo, chardonnay, and parellada varieties. Once in the winery, after the sorting table, the grapes are gravity-fed and the clusters are pressed whole. Each variety is vinified separately, and the expedition liqueur comes from a century-old solera. Its meticulous production process culminates in an exceptionally long aging on lees of 60 months—exceeding that of a Gran Reserva.
Founded in 1881, Gramona is a classic family-run winery that upholds traditional methods and prioritizes elegance. Based in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (Barcelona), the fifth generation currently leads the winery, advocating for organic and biodynamic viticulture. In 2019, Gramona left the D.O. Cava along with 8 other wineries to market their sparkling wines under the collective brand Corpinnat, created with the aim of distinguishing the great sparkling wines born in the heart of Penedès, made from 100% organic grapes, hand-harvested and fully vinified on the estate.
Gramona Imperial is a sparkling wine versatile enough to be enjoyed throughout a meal, from appetizers to dessert.
Creators' opinion
Amarillo pálido y reflejos pajizos. Es intenso, destaca la fruta blanca madura, la manzana, el melocotón de viña. Notas cítricas de piel de limón. Tonos anisados, hinojo. Recuerdos de trigo. Mantequilla, brioche. La oxigenación potencia los aromas maduros: tarta de manzana, mazapán, yema tostada. Amplio a su paso, vivaz y refrescante, de burbujas finas y cremosas. Notas de compota de la fruta madura y panadería. Un espumoso que, año tras año, demuestra su personalidad y finura.
The winery
The Gramona family represents five generations of winemakers. Since the mid-19th century, they have been working their lands in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia (Barcelona), and today they produce sparkling wines under the prestigious Corpinnat quality label, as well as still wines under the umbrella of the D.O. Penedès. Few wineries have made such significant contributions in recent years to elevate Spanish sparkling wines to the level of the great champagnes.
The sparkling wines of Gramona, crafted by Jaume Gramona, one of the foremost experts on bubbles in our country, achieve remarkable levels of elegance and are characterized by their extended aging periods. These sparkling wines, which garner prestigious international accolades, are made following artisanal processes: natural cork stoppers during aging, riddling racks for clarification, and manual disgorgement.
The Gramona family operates under a biodynamic philosophy across approximately 303 hectares. Of these, 72 hectares are owned by the family, while the rest come from Aliances per la Terra, a viticulturist association founded in 2015 and led by Gramona, which adheres to environmentally respectful practices. In 2014, Gramona obtained the Demeter certification, which guarantees biodynamic farming and winemaking for each wine. A few years later, in 2018, it became the first winery on the Peninsula to receive the BIODYVIN biodynamic certification. The Biodyvin label is a highly demanding certification, specific to the wine sector worldwide, and certifies biodynamic practices in both viticulture and winemaking (winery).
