Who makes it

Agustí Torelló Mata’s family project reaches a third generation at Celler Kripta, the sparkling wine producer based in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and linked to the Penedès vineyards. Celler Kripta makes long aged sparkling wine from native varieties, with Kripta as its flagship Brut Nature.

The range carries a family name, a local address and a clear commitment to extended bottle ageing. The business now produces approximately 500,000 bottles annually and distributes them in more than 30 countries.

Where it grows

La Serra is the winery’s address in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Barcelona. The town sits within the Penedès vineyard landscape that Celler Kripta identifies as part of its inheritance.

The vineyards extend across more than 100 hectares, including 40 hectares owned by the family. The label therefore connects one named winery address with a wider Penedès vineyard base, while the sparkling wines are vinified at the winery.

How it is made

The cellar

All Celler Kripta sparkling wines are made from grapes vinified entirely at the winery. Harvests are 100% manual, and the wines are certified organic and vegan.

Manual harvesting means the bunches are cut by hand. Organic certification concerns vineyard farming, while vegan certification concerns the materials used during production. The method stays visible on the label through the producer’s long aged sparkling wines and dated disgorgement practice.

What they make

The range has two clear levels. Franc Reserva Corpinnat 2021 is the fresh, accessible Brut. Its producer specification is 50% Macabeo, 20% Xarel·lo and 30% Parellada, with 6 g/l sugar added as organic grape must.

Kripta Gran Reserva Brut Nature Corpinnat 2016 is the flagship bottle, built around much longer bottle ageing. Franc carries a stated dosage and three grape varieties, while Kripta carries the Brut Nature designation and the flagship role.
