    We explore a growing trend: the use of cork stoppers in sparkling wine bottling.

    A recent research project driven by the wineries Gramona and Recaredo, along with cork manufacturers Francisco Oller and TESA, and supported by the Catalan Cork Institute Foundation, the Catalan Institute of Vine and Wine, and the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology, has demonstrated that sparkling wines undergoing secondary fermentation with cork achieve a distinctive physical and sensory profile and are also more highly valued by consumers.

    We will see the first results of the project by tasting 4 sparkling wines.
