NOTES FROM OUR SOMMELIERS

👁 of a beautiful intense straw yellow, fine and persistent perlage;

👃🏻 the nose opens with fresh, intense and fragrant aromas especially of toasted vanilla;

👄 on the palate it is fragrant, fresh, with a pleasantly round finish with a pleasant hint of chocolate. Very pleasant.

RECOMMENDED COMBINATION

This Classic Method is fresh and very balanced, decidedly versatile, and also pairs well with dishes with a certain structure. Perfect with sea fish and soups, we recommend it with raw salmon, pasta with trout or spaghetti with sea urchins.

REFINEMENT

Manual harvest. After mashing, the must begins to ferment and then slowly carries out the second fermentation, aimed at reducing the natural acidity. In August the wine thus obtained is bottled together with a fine cuvé of yeasts and sugars, to carry out refermentation in the bottle and obtain the classic foam. Refines 40 months in bottle; top up with shipping liquor.

TERRITORY OF ORIGIN

TERROR

The Trento area, as well as for its Trento DOC bubbles, is famous for its elegant white wines, typical of high altitude territories. Here altitude plays a fundamental role in the quality of the wine in the glass. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 200 and 900 meters above sea level, in an environment with climates characterized by strong daily temperature variations capable of giving the grapes aromatic complexity, elegance and freshness. In addition, the conditions of drainage And ventilation of the Trentino soil give the wine greater gustatory complexity .

CELLAR

South Tyrol, 8 December 1882: Roberto Zeni opens a tavern near the bridge over the Adige and for the occasion uncorks a Teroldego obtained from the first harvest of some vineyards in the "Pini" area. Campo Rotaliano, land of Teroldego, made its way in this period, with the hydraulic reclamation of the Adige river and the Noce stream which led to the creation of ideal land for the cultivation of vines. The Pini vineyard also expanded with the reclamation, and over the years grandfather Roberto also purchased the Pinotti, Zaraosti, Broili and Sortì vineyards. This is the beginning of the story, while the current structure dates back to the mid-seventies, when the brothers Roberto and Andrea Zeni founded the Zeni agricultural company and the distillery of the same name. In both realities, excellence and niche production are sacred words, in the vineyard and in the cellar. Approximately 20 hectares of vineyards, for bottles that express an extraordinary and highly suited territory such as that of Trentino Alto Adige. In recent years the greatest effort has been directed on two fronts: the first in the vineyard, in order to achieve correct maturation of the grapes thus allowing a sugary raw material to be brought to the cellar and in the case of red grape varieties with soft tannins and complex; the second front is the processing of the grapes, the drying and the improvement of the management of alcoholic fermentation. Withering is a very widespread technique in the world wine scene but it has never caught on in Trentino, with the exception of the production of Vino Santo Trentino.
