Description
What kind of wine it is
Rosso Faye by Pojer e Sandri is a red Riserva wine from Trentino-Alto Adige, fermented in wooden vats and matured in oak barrels, expressing the identity of the Vigneti delle Dolomiti denomination. This Cabernet-based blend is created from a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Lagrein grapes. The bouquet is complex and immediate, rich in aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry, cherry and plum, enhanced by notes of pepper and spices such as pepper and cinnamon. On the palate, it is dry and elegant, supported by a pleasant tannic structure that leads the sip towards a very long persistence, finishing with clear hints of liquorice.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the small village of Faedo, in the Paradisot area. The vineyards are situated on volcanic soil characterised by deposits of sandstone, marl, limestone and dolomite, with a silty-limestone soil that imparts a structured character. The south and south-west exposure ensures excellent sunlight, while the constant ventilation from the Ora del Garda guarantees a dry microclimate, essential for the health of the grapes. The varying hillside altitudes result in staggered ripening and extended harvest times, which are crucial for achieving a solid final taste balance.
How it is produced
Vineyard care is based on meticulous manual work, starting with pruning, aimed at preserving the health of the vines. The agronomic approach excludes herbicides and minimises phytosanitary treatments. The strictly manual harvest is staggered over time to accommodate the different altitudes of the rows. In the cellar, the must undergoes fermentation for about two weeks in wooden vats. The wine then matures in oak barrels for around twelve months, completing its refinement with a further year of bottle ageing.
History and Curiosities
Rosso Faye originates in Faedo, on the volcanic and limestone soils of the Trentino Dolomites. The manual viticulture is based on sustainable practices that exclude the use of herbicides. After ageing in oak and in the bottle, this dedication has earned it prestigious accolades: 93 points from Vinous and the 4 Vines award from the Vitae AIS guide.

Faedo 1998: We are already starting to show our thirst for innovation: we are among the first at a national level to market Chardonnay, which until then was practically unknown.
Faedo 2002: We patent the reduction and press vinification with nitrogen recovery, which drastically reduces the use of sulphites. We then begin to wash the grapes through the grape jacuzzi.
The arrival of Marianna, Matteo, Fiamma, Elisa and Federico has brought further life and energy to this dream in which passion and innovation are the keystone.
