Description
Still white wine, Trentino DOC, 13% ABV, produced by Cavit. 2023 vintage. A Chardonnay Riserva born from the passion and expertise of Cavit, a Trentino cooperative that has been promoting local grape varieties since 1950. The grapes come from the Valle dei Laghi, nestled between the mountains at the foot of the Dolomites, not far from Lake Garda. The harvest was carried out by hand in mid-September. Fermentation took place entirely in very lightly toasted oak barriques, one-third new and two-thirds second and third use, where the wine aged for eight months. On the nose, a light hint of vanilla gives way to aromas reminiscent of peach and exotic fruit. On the palate, it is dry yet supported by a fresh acidity typical of Trentino.
