Clongiàn

Corvée is a French term that was used in feudalism to indicate a free job by the vassal for his master. The many hours of work of the vassals of the Cembra Valley in Trentino are due to the 400 km of terraces of dry porphyry walls that delimit a wonderful territory from the 250 meters of altitude of Mosana to the 1000 meters of Faver. Within this portion of land, the 14 hectares of vineyards of the Corvée winery extend, born with the idea of ​​expressing the best of the potential of plants grown with environmental sustainability criteria and respect for traditions, useful for producing excellent wines in the DOC of Trentino, in many ways still unexpressed. Ambitious but successful project.

The Clongiàn vineyard is located at 630 meters in a natural amphitheater halfway up the ridge of Mount Avvoltoio (1362 meters). It’s illuminated from dawn until evening and extends over a stony porphyry ground. The slow and gradual maturation of the Gewürztraminer grapes, the ideal exposure and the mountain breeze contribute to the refined personality of this high altitude wine. The harvest is manual at the end of September followed by soft pressing in an inert atmosphere, static settling of the must, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging on the lees for about 8 months, with further aging in the bottle About 6 months before marketing.
