Trento d.o.c. blanc de blancspas dosè<br />It is the unceasing work of numerous sparkling wine producers who strongly believe in the territory and in the quality of a unique wine: producing a Trentodoc sparkling<br />wine is a precious art, a vocation, a skill.<br /><br />The skilful hands of Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga have given life to a new expression of their savoir faire with Trentodoc sparkling wine, a tribute to the mountains of<br />Trentino where it originates.<br />Marchesi Guerrieri Gonzaga sparkling wine is a Blanc de Blancs Pas Dosè. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes cultivated in the Pressano hills at an altitude of 400<br />metres, on marly-calcareous soils that produce structured wines, and in the upper Cembra valley at an altitude of between 400 and 700 metres on sandy soils of porphyry<br />origin, where more floral wines are produced, with a marked acidity and great freshness. The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand between the last ten days of August<br />and the first days of September. The grapes are immediately processed and fermentation is carried out exclusively in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine<br />remains for at least 8 months on its yeasts, which give it complexity before being bottled. It then remains for a minimum of 36 months in refinement where the magic of the<br />wine comes to life. Finally, after disgorging, it rests a further 6 months in the silence of the cellars. The blend of these grapes from such different vineyards gives rise to an<br />extremely elegant and vertical sparkling wine with a strong identity, a tribute to the wonderful mountains of Trentino.<br />

Altemasi Rosé<br />TRENTO DOC METODO CLASSICO Altemasi Rosé represents a harmonious union between the elegance of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir, for a refined<br />bouquet of small fruits.<br /><br />Area of production: The wines of this important cuvée come from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes harvested in the high hillside vineyards around Trento and on the<br />Brentonico plateau at altitudes between 450 and 600 m above sea level, facing south and southwest. The Chardonnay is grown on soils that are mainly of fluvial-glacial<br />origin, of medium depth, tend to be calcareous and rich in skeleton. The soils chosen for the Pinot Noir are of volcanic origin, originating on the basalt of the Brentonico<br />plateau, with a medium texture and well structured.<br />Vinification and refinement:The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in crates to the cellars where vinification takes place. Only the whole Chardonnay berries are<br />slowly pressed to separate the different fractions of must which, inoculated with selected yeasts, ferments at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine<br />from Pinot Noir is made using the 'submerged cap' system, which consists of leaving the must in contact with the skins until the first signs of fermentation begin; then only<br />the must is separated and fermentation continues in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. This allows us to obtain a soft, delicate colour from the skins, a distinctive<br />feature of Cavit's Trentodoc rosé. Foaming in the bottle takes place the following spring and the wine remains on the lees for at least 15 months. On disgorging, a small<br />amount of 'liqueur d'expédition' is added.<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol: 12.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6 g/l<br />Net dry extract: 22 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 7 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />Tasting notes: A Classical Method sparkling wine, pale pink in colour with light copper highlights, creamy white mousse, fine and persistent perlage, complex bouquet with<br />fruity notes reminiscent of ripe cherries, redcurrants and red apples, a rich, well-balanced flavour with a very persistent aftertaste.Serving suggestions: Suitable as an aperitif,<br />but especially at table with soups and main courses of white meat or game.<br />Serving temperature: 8-10 °C<br />

DER BLAUWAL Riserva 2009 Trento DOC<br /><br />From Chardonnay grapes<br /><br />Der Blauwal is our classic method reserve. A single vineyard, a single vintage and a single grape variety. Time is a precious commodity: it takes at least 84 months on the<br />lees to transfer the complex history of the vintage, the identity of the vineyard and the characteristics of the variety into the wine. It is an extra brut with a dosage of about 3<br />g/l. The enveloping taste and structure are merited by the quality of the grapes from old vines and the ripeness of the fruit. To prevent this complexity from being diluted in<br />any way, the final topping up, which follows disgorging, is done with the same wine as the start.<br />IN BRIEF<br /><br />Grapes, 100% Chardonnay<br /><br />VINEYARD, single vineyard in Pressano, pergola over 45 years old<br /><br />SOIL, Werfen sandstone with the presence of gypsum and limestone<br /><br />VINIFICATION, soft pressing with 50% yield, fermentation in used barriques, malolactic fermentation.<br /><br />Maturation, at least 84 months<br /><br />DOSAGE, Extra Brut<br />

Blànc<br />A fascinating sip fused in a dynamic perlage that translates the essence of the material into refined elegance, whose key to interpretation remains the full structure in a<br />paradigm of unprecedented rationality, the nerve centre of freshness and pungent minerality. Interweavings of impalpable chalkiness, puffs of powder, yellow citrus, almond,<br />salt, broom and honeysuckle are read as tension and depth, an authentic goblet, free gastronomic thought. The gracefulness of the sip is the unmistakable stylistic feature,<br />of which the biting vertical development in an author's palate is surprising.<br />BLÀNC COMBINATION<br />One label and two numbers: 20 vintage variables from 37 selected vineyards. The strength and beauty of vines that are more than three decades old, with roots that dig into<br />the many layers of the terroir, to draw from them distinctive nutrients and unique microelements. The ultimate expression of our Franciacorta.<br /><br />Grapes: Chardonnay 50%, Pinot Blanc 50%.<br />
