Description
What kind of wine it is
Rupe Re Vendemmia Tardiva is a sweet passito wine by Cavit, an expression of the Trentino Superiore region. This wine is created from a careful blend of white grapes including Nosiola, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Incrocio Manzoni. With its bright, intense golden yellow colour, it offers clear aromas of dried apricot, preserved peach, honey and candyfloss. On the palate, the sip is enveloping and rich in aromas, balancing sweetness with a fresh and persistent finish, ideal for pairing with blue cheeses and refined tastings of foie gras.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the hilly areas of Trentino, particularly from the Valle dei Laghi, Vallagarina and the Adige Valley. The vineyards benefit from south and south-west exposures in areas that are constantly ventilated. The stony soils create the ideal environment for optimal ripening. The drying process takes place partly on the vine, a process encouraged by the development of Botrytis cinerea in its noble form, which naturally dries the berries, promoting a valuable concentration of sugars and aromatic substances that define the wine's profile.
How it is produced
The production process involves manual harvesting and selection of the botrytised bunches in late autumn, to ensure the fruit's maximum expression. In the winery, extraction is carried out through a gentle pressing to obtain a dense must. The subsequent fermentation and ageing stages take place in small stainless steel tanks, a deliberate choice to preserve the purity of the original aromas. The cycle is completed with a resting period of eight months before release, which helps to stabilise its flavour profile.
History and Curiosities
Rupe Re Vendemmia Tardiva by Cavit is born from the skilful late-autumn harvest of grape clusters enriched by Botrytis cinerea in its noble form. Grown on the most suitable hillsides of the Valle dei Laghi, Vallagarina and the Adige Valley, the grapes are meticulously hand-selected to concentrate the maximum aromatic richness. After maturing in steel and 8 months in the bottle, this Trentino Superiore DOC reveals itself as a true masterpiece for contemplation, a precious nectar perfect for elegantly concluding a meal.
