In Barcelona, ​​they are available at Alkimia, Teórico, and Palma de Bellafila. In Paris, they can be found at Baccarat, owned by chef Alain Ducasse, and in Madrid, at the Gran Hotel Inglés. In between these cities, many other restaurants, especially in the Garraf region, have requested Calcite white and red from the self-taught winemaker to add to their wine lists.

The last ones are AT Roca and Mas Bertran, which together alone total 400,000 bottles under the Corpinnat umbrella. At a meeting to share data on the harvest, they also provided information on the trickle of new additions. "More than ten wineries are being audited [to join Corpinnat]. We have very demanding regulations and we will be very strict with these additions," said Corpinnat's vice president, Roc Gramona, who acknowledged that there are more than they initially thought there would be. What's more, the winery that will be 20 years old will be announced at the beginning of the year, according to Pere Llopart, president of Corpinnat.
