Description
What kind of wine it is
Trento Brut by Endrizzi is a dry sparkling wine from Trentino with great gastronomic versatility, a Metodo Classico born from a refined blend that combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Visually, it presents a pale straw yellow colour, greenish highlights, and a fine, persistent perlage. The aromatic profile is crisp, with notes of green apple and fresh pear, combined with hints of bread crust and dried fruit resulting from resting on the lees. On the palate, it is savoury and lively, with a marked freshness that makes it ideal for pairing with shellfish, raw seafood, vegetarian dishes, and matured cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow on the terraces of the Cembra Valley, in the heart of the Trento area. The rows develop in a mountain environment, at an altitude between five hundred and six hundred and fifty metres. This microclimate ensures slow ripening, which is essential for preserving a lively acidity. Some of the clusters come from Pian di Castello, a plot surrounded by woods with vines cultivated using the Guyot method for over thirty years. Constant ventilation gives the wine a dry and vertical sip, characterised by a strong saline imprint.
How it is produced
The production process begins with summer thinning and continues with the manual harvest, aimed at preserving the integrity of the bunches. This is followed by soft pressing in an inert atmosphere to prevent unwanted oxidation. The first fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. Subsequently, the secondary fermentation follows the rigorous principles of the Metodo Classico. The wine ages on the lees for at least twenty-four months, acquiring complexity and structure. Finally, a minimal dosage ensures a dry finish, an authentic expression of the terroir.
History and interesting facts
Founded in San Michele all’Adige in 1885, the Endrizzi brand produces this excellent Trento DOC Brut. The grapes grow at altitudes between 500 and 650 metres on the terraces of the Val di Cembra and in the exclusive Pian di Castello vineyard, an oasis surrounded by woodland with Guyot-trained vines over thirty years old. An artisanal dedication guides the manual harvest and the rigorous Metodo Classico. Ageing in the bottle for at least 24 months on the lees and the minimal dosage enhance the fresh purity of the mountain region.

Ecological sustainability with respect to the terrain and the cultivation techniques, this is the key to the production of wholesome and award-winning wines.
Furthermore, San Michele is a sheltered village on the south side of the Alps, where the mild Mediterranean climate and the cooler continental climate meet. Thermal excursions and the regular breeze from Lake Garda foster healthy grapes and stimulate the development of those aromatic elements, which serve as a basis for the refinement and the pleasantness of the wines by Endrizzi, one of the oldest wineries of Trentino.
