Description
What kind of wine it is
Altemasi Trento Brut Magnum is a Trento sparkling wine made from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes and vinified according to the Traditional Method. Its straw yellow colour, enhanced by greenish highlights, reveals a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it expresses elegant fruity notes combined with hints of bread crust, while on the palate it offers a full, fresh and highly enjoyable sip. Also suitable for those following a vegan diet, it pairs perfectly with white meats and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Trento originates in the heart of the mountainous landscape of Trentino. The vineyards where the Chardonnay ripens stretch between the Valle dei Laghi and the hills of Trento, areas characterised by a centuries-old winemaking tradition. Vineyard management involves Trentino pergola and Guyot training systems, maintaining balanced yields to maximise grape quality. This Alpine terroir gives the wine a pronounced gustatory tension and extremely clear aromas.
How it is produced
After harvesting, the first fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The subsequent prise de mousse occurs in the bottle, strictly following the Traditional Method, with maturation on the lees lasting at least fifteen months. This slow ageing process enriches the wine's aromatic complexity and gives it a solid gustatory balance, making it harmonious and ready to be enjoyed.
History and Curiosities
The Altemasi Trento Brut 2021 is a vintage sparkling wine made from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes. Refined using the Traditional Method, it rests on the lees in cool cellars for at least 15 months, developing an extremely fine perlage and delicate hints of bread crust. This sophisticated Trentodoc sparkling wine, also suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets, enhances every toast. The prestigious 1.5 l magnum format preserves its balance and freshness on the palate, making it ideal for accompanying elegant first courses, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
