Description
What kind of wine it is
Letrari Brut Trento is a Trentino sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method, created from a blend where Chardonnay meets Pinot Noir. Ageing for at least twenty-four months on the lees shapes a clear and elegant technical profile. In the glass, it appears a bright straw yellow with golden highlights, crossed by a continuous and fine perlage. The bouquet offers fragrant notes of apple and pineapple, accompanied by hints of bread crust. On the palate, it is broad and lively, with good body and a persistence that recalls the pleasant fruity sensations perceived on the nose.
Where it comes from
The grapes ripen in the Vallagarina, near Rovereto. The vineyards benefit from a temperate climate moderated by the influence of Lake Garda and the River Adige, which create a distinctive Mediterranean microclimate. The significant temperature variations are crucial for defining the varietal character, enhancing the freshness of the Brut style. The Letrari winery leads production, drawing on a historic presence in this specific area dating back to 1647.
How it is produced
Production begins with the manual harvesting of the bunches, which are then destemmed and gently pressed. The base fermentation takes place in steel tanks to preserve the purity of the aromas. After the blend is created, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, as required by the Traditional Method. The long ageing on the lees ensures great stability and consistency of the mousse, resulting in a sip with harmonious balance, enriched by pleasant flavours of fruit and bread crust.
