This elegant sparking wine is made using the white grapes cultivated in Trentino Alto Adige, estate grown vineyards at the foothill of the Dolomites – at elevations between 400 and 800 meters.
Grapes are harvested and selected by hand at the beginning of September. After destemming and crushing they are soft pressed to extract only the aromatic compounds.
The fermentation is done at controlled temperature of 64°F for 10- 11 days. The wine is then matured for 4-6 months on the lees.
After the assembly of the cuvée, the wine undergoes the second fermentation in autoclave for 15 days until the fermentation is naturally blocked, cooling down the temperature to 41°F to preserve the natural sugar that gives balance and smoothness to this sparking wine.
The wine matures on the lees in autoclave for further 3-5 moths before cold stabilization, filtration and bottling.
This production process (Charmat method), a much less expensive and less time-consuming method of sparkling wine production, is also used to produce Prosecco.
60% Chardonnay - 30% Pinot Bianco - 10% Muller Thurgau
The bouquet displays rich and intense aromas of fresh fruits like red apple, pear, white peach and melon, and delicate pineapple with an elegant note of wild mountain rose. The palate is very pleasant with a soft mousse, persistent bubbles and smooth acidity.
