About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Chardonnay is selected for its capacity to sustain extended maturation. It comes from mountain vineyards on the slopes of Trentino in areas particularly suited to Trentodoc production. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand.

100% Chardonnay.
Vinification
Vinified in steel. The 2017 harvest began early and concluded with precise picking and rigorous selection.
Ageing
The wine matures on the lees for at least 80 months, developing the complexity and refined softness associated with the Perlé style.

Trentodoc Riserva Brut. Alcohol: 12.5% vol. Available in a 0.75 L bottle. The recommended serving temperature is 8°C, in a Grand Cru tulip glass.
Tasting profile
The 2017 has a golden-tinged colour and a fine perlage. Its elegant, notably fresh bouquet layers lime and grapefruit with honeysuckle and orange blossom, giving a clean, precise and finely defined aromatic profile. The palate is sleek and harmonious, beginning with a clean attack. Bright, crystalline acidity creates tension and a vertical shape, followed by an elegant progression into a long, dry finish. Lightly toasted nuances and flint-like mineral sensations emerge at the close.
Vintage notes
The 2017 growing season combined energy with sharp contrasts. A mild winter was followed by difficult spring conditions in parts of the region. Summer thunderstorms and hail required close attention, rapid decisions and detailed knowledge of individual parcels. The accelerated season brought an early harvest. Precise picking and rigorous selection yielded fruit of exceptional quality, expressing both authenticity and vigour.
