Description
What kind of wine it is
The Bottega Vinai Pinot Grigio Trentino by Cavit is a still white wine that fully expresses the character of Trentino. To the eye, it appears a straw yellow with greenish highlights. The bouquet offers delicate aromas, opening with pronounced floral notes before evolving into ripe hints of pear, yellow-fleshed peach and melon. On the palate, it reveals an elegant structure and a pleasant freshness, supported by a vein of acidity that ensures a harmonious and well-balanced sip.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards located between Roverè della Luna and the Valle dei Laghi, north of Lake Garda. In this area, the continental alpine climate meets mild sub-Mediterranean influences, ensuring perfect aromatic development. Pinot Grigio, introduced to Trentino at the end of the nineteenth century by the Agricultural Institute of San Michele all’Adige, finds an ideal habitat in this environment. The vines are cultivated with medium-low yields, allowing the aromas to concentrate within the small grey-copper berries to best enhance the characteristics of the terroir.
How it is produced
Production involves white vinification with gentle pressing of whole bunches, aimed at avoiding colour extraction from the skins. The must ferments with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature to preserve maximum aromatic purity. This is followed by ageing in stainless steel tanks for four months before cold bottling. The lively freshness of this wine makes it ideal for accompanying fish, shellfish and sushi, but it also pairs excellently with light starters, vegetarian dishes and soft cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Introduced in Trentino at the end of the nineteenth century by the Agricultural Institute of San Michele all’Adige, Pinot Grigio has found its chosen homeland in this region. This noble bud mutation of Pinot Noir, known in German as Ruländer, is showcased by Bottega Vinai in its most authentic and traditional expression. The small, compact bunches, made up of sweet and juicy grey-coppery grapes, are obtained from low yields to ensure the highest quality, offering the palate a harmonious white wine with a distinctive and refined identity.
