Description
What kind of wine it is
Bottega Vinai Teroldego Rotaliano by Cavit expresses the authentic character of the Teroldego grape variety. In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby red colour with violet highlights. The bouquet is fruity, with initial notes of raspberry and blackberry that evolve into an ethereal bouquet. On the palate, it displays a balanced tannin structure and a continuous texture, offering a full-bodied and austere sip, ideal for tasting in a large tulip-shaped glass or one of generous size.
Where it comes from
This red originates from the Piana Rotaliana, located north of Trento in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. The Trentino Alto Adige area is the historic cradle of Teroldego and offers a soil that defines its deep identity. Its belonging to the Teroldego Rotaliano area confirms the strong connection with the territory; here the vine develops a varietal character focused on forest fruits, ensuring a faithful expression of its place of origin.
How it is produced
Production involves the use of hand-harvested grapes, followed by six months of ageing in barriques and Slavonian oak barrels. This process shapes the structure and enriches the sensory profile of the wine. At the table, it enhances Trentino cheeses, Tonco del Pontesel, flavourful veal stews and game with polenta, proving ideal also when paired with grilled meats.
