Blanc de Blancs Trento Brut

Description

In Martignano, a small village located above Trento, the Maso Martis vineyards have been cultivated since the 1980s, while the company's actual winery was founded in 1990 from a combination of passion and winemaking experience. The fields are located right at the foot of Mount Calisio at an altitude of approximately 450 meters, at an altitude that allows them to be caressed by the mountain breeze without being damaged by the cold. The grapes selected for the production of Maso Martis Brut are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown organically with full respect for the environment and blended to create a classic sparkling wine with a light yeasty aftertaste. The two grape varieties are harvested strictly by hand and then pressed and processed separately. Their vinification follows different methods, taking place in steel containers for the Pinot Noir, while the Chardonnay is vinified and fermented in barriques for a period of approximately eight months. The two types of grapes processed are then blended in different quantities. 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir are used, in a perfect balance of flavors and nuances. The product is then aged in steel containers and bottled with added yeasts, no earlier than the following spring. The yeasts are left to act for approximately 24 months, then the wine is subjected to remuage (turning to eliminate sediment) before being released for sale. Maso Martis Brut is certified organic by the ICEA.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1990
• Oenologist: Matteo Ferrari
• Bottles produced: 120.000
• Hectares: 10

Our farm was established in 1990, a few years before the birth of our two daughters, Alessandra and Maddalena.

Ever since the beginning we dedicated our activity almost exclusively to the art of producing classic method sparkling wines: a real challenge to face at that time, as this type of product from Trentino still had not achieved the reputation of high quality as it has today with the brand TRENTODOC.

We live in a house located in the heart of our vineyards and therefore for us the transition to organic viticulture was the natural consequence of our way of life that focuses on life quality.

Maso Martis is situated in Martignano at the foothill of Mount Calisio (also called Argentario) above Trento, 450 m above sea level: a mountain terrain that was cultivated as early as the end of the 800, and is well exposed and caressed by the mountain breeze. Read more
