Letrari Trento Riserva del Fondatore 976 Brut 2012
An unquestioned thoroughbred, this Trento DOC, made from hand-picked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, is produced only in exceptional growing years. The wine re-ferments in the bottle, in accord with the classic method, then remains sur lie a minimum of 96 months. This ultra-lengthy time on the fine lees and its late disgorgement allow us to create a wine that is the very soul of our growing area, marrying together exceptional complexity and character with a finely-crafted elegance.

Perlage

Bubbly crown on the edges. The minute and continuous perlage.

Colour

Fairly intense gold, luminous and lively.

Bouquet

The nose spatiates over a wide variety of fragrances, among them freshly-baked bread and smooth vanilla, backgrounded by ripe apple, wild herbs, and a mixture of almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts.

Flavour

The palate is creaminess personified, full-volumed and well-rounded in its complexity, releasing more well-ripened fruit over citrus and spice. Here is crisp, vivacious sparkler, but one at the same time spacious and firmly-structured, with a nearendless finish.
