Description
What kind of wine it is
Quattro Vicariati Rosso by Cavit is a still red wine that enhances the Trentino Superiore region. This blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, presenting a bright ruby red colour. The bouquet opens with balsamic notes, followed by clear aromas of plum, blackberry and tobacco. On the palate, it shows great balance, revealing itself as smooth and supported by noble tannins that lead to a spicy and enveloping finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the hillside slopes of Vallagarina, along the course of the Adige river, between the towns of Mori, Rovereto and Avio. This area, historically known as the Quattro Vicariati zone, represents the southernmost part of the region and is ideal for viticulture. The presence of the watercourse and the exposure of the hillside slopes create a microclimate that is perfect for the proper ripening of the grapes. This environment gives the wine an intense aromatic profile, enhancing the dark fruit and ensuring an elegant structure.
How it is produced
After careful fermentation, the wine rests for eighteen months of ageing in small oak barrels. This prolonged maturation is essential to enrich the palate, harmoniously blending the fruit with the spicy and balsamic nuances imparted by the wood. To best appreciate its sensory expressions, it is advisable to decant the wine for about an hour before serving. Its solid body makes it perfect to pair with grilled meats, robust first courses and mature cheeses.
History and Curiosities
The prestigious Quattro Vicariati Rosso takes its name from the area of the same name in Vallagarina, the part of Trentino most renowned for its vineyards and dedicated to the production of great red wines. Produced by the historic Cavit cooperative, this enveloping wine expresses the excellence of its territory in every sip. Its remarkable structural quality is confirmed by important international awards, including the gold medal at the “Emozioni dal Mondo” competition for its noble blend of Merlot and Cabernet, as well as the excellent score of 90/100 awarded by the 5StarWines guide.
