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 />

GIULIO FERRARI FOUNDER'S RESERVE<br />Beyond all expectations. Chardonnay in purity,<br />fascinating, satisfying, evocative. A great Reserve capable of<br />win the challenge of time.<br /><br />Denomination: TRENTODOC<br />Grapes: obtained from selected Chardonnay grapes harvested in mid-September.<br />Length of maturation: over 10 years on selected yeasts of own cultivation.<br />Production area: Vineyards owned by the Lunelli family on the slopes of the mountains that frame Trento, up to 600 metres above sea level, facing south-west.<br />Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES:<br />Visual examination: brilliant yellow with golden reflections. The perlage is fine and persistent. Nose: bouquet of rare intensity and fragrance, in which the varietal fruitiness is<br />in perfect harmony with hints of honey, combined with notes of white chocolate, spices and citrus fruits.<br />Taste: elegant and harmonious, velvety-bodied and composite: the fragrances of acacia honey and ripe hay combine well with floral notes. The impact is noble and<br />remarkably persistent.<br />

Vintage Collection Extra Brut 2018<br />Denomination: Franciacorta Millesimato.<br />Grape varieties: Chardonnay 65%, Pinot Nero 29%, Pinot Bianco 6%.<br />Original vineyards: 17 Chardonnay vines, with an average age of 28 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco, Adro, Cazzago San Martino, Corte Franca and<br />Passirano. 7 Pinot Nero vines, with an average age of 29 years, located in the municipalities of Erbusco and Passirano. 2 Pinot Bianco vines, with an average age of 29<br />years, located in the municipality of Passirano.<br />Harvest: 2018. Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method. The<br />grapes, freshly hand-picked into small crates, are graded and cooled. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive 'grape<br />spas'. A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wine to be transferred by gravity from the small barrels to the ageing tanks. After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing. The dégorgement takes place in the<br />absence of oxygen, using a unique system invented and patented by Ca' del Bosco. This avoids oxidative shocks and further additions of sulphites, making our Franciacorta<br />wines purer, more pleasant and longer-lived. Finally, each packaged bottle is uniquely marked to ensure traceability.<br />Draught: May 2019.<br />Maturation on yeasts: 48 months on average.<br />Type of flavour: Extra Brut.<br />Dosage at disgorgement<br />Sugar content: 0.5 grams/litre.<br />Analytical data at disgorgement<br />Alcohol: 12.5% Vol; pH: 3.06; Total Acidity: 6.00 grams/litre;<br />Volatile acidity: 0.22 grams/litre.<br />Sulphites<br />Total sulphur dioxide less than 49 milligrams/litre<br />(maximum legal limit: 185 milligrams/litre).<br />
