Spumante Perlè astuccio

"Trentodoc" expresses the quintessence of sparkling wines from the mountains, produced exclusively by the Metodo Classico from grapes grown in Trentino. It is the first D.O.C. created in Italy for Metodo Classico and the second in the world, after Champagne. There are 40 producers and more than 100 different wines bearing the brand TRENTODOC, devised in 2007 and promoted by Itituto Trentodoc. Towards the end of the summer, when the bunches of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero are ripe, the grapes are picked by hand and taken to the winery, where they are pressed. This is followed by the first fermentation, from which derive aromas reminiscent of those of the variety of origin. After the creation of the cuvée (the desired blend), the base wine is bottled and enriched with sugars and selected yeasts. So the second fermentation begins: the one that creates the perlage (bubbles). The cuvée remains in the bottle virtually undisturbed for between two and ten years, depending on the individual wine. In the silence of the cellar the daily ritual od remuage carried out: that eighth of a turn of each bottle that is indispensable for making the sediment slide towards the cork; this sediment will then be removed by means of dégorgement. The process end with the addition of the liqueur d'expédition, the secret formula of which defines the house style of each individual winery.

Pale golden highlights adorn its straw yellow colour. The perlage is extremely fine and persistent. Nose aromatic richness of extraordinary expressiveness: the scene is dominated by hints of Reinette apples and citrus fruits, accompanied by tones of white peach, almond blossom and toast-like notes. The taste is elegant and harmonious, with the unmistakable fruity, aromatic sensations that are typical of Chardonnay. These are followed by a slightly almondy finish of great persistence, the result of long ageing on the yeasts.
