WINE MAKING PROCESS
Codorníu Ecológica Brut is produced using the traditional method, which involves a secondary fermentation and aging in the bottle. The primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, with grapes harvested separately to ensure organic integrity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 9 to 12 months on its lees, a process that develops its texture and complexity. Organic farming practices are central to its production, with vineyards certified under European and US regulations. Low yields are maintained to enhance grape quality. All winemaking products used comply with organic appellation standards, and separate, specially labeled vats are employed to prevent any contact with non-organic substances.
