Description
What kind of wine is it
Abate Nero Trento Brut is a white sparkling wine produced using the Traditional Method, a true expression of the Trento denomination. It is created from a harmonious blend, where the elegance of Chardonnay meets the solid structure of Pinot Noir, offering a straw yellow colour with subtle greenish highlights in the glass. On the nose, it reveals delicate notes of white-fleshed fruit and wildflowers. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage that leads to a pleasantly harmonious finish.
Where does it come from
This sparkling wine is born in the heart of the Trento denomination, a mountainous area highly suited to the creation of sparkling wines of remarkable finesse. The project began with a group of friends, experts in agronomy, and has evolved into a historic establishment active since 1973. The Alpine identity of the Abate Nero winery is reflected in a clear aromatic profile and an enveloping structure, making it ideal for accompanying an entire meal with great versatility.
How is it produced
The production process is characterised by a rigorous artisanal approach at every stage, starting with a careful selection of the grapes. The white vinification involves gentle pressing of the bunches and a first controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the principles of the Traditional Method, gaining complexity through an extended ageing on the lees for at least twenty months. This meticulous process results in a dry and persistent sip, enlivened by fragrant hints of bread crust and supported by a continuous and satisfying stream of bubbles.
History and Curiosities
Born from the passion of a group of friends united by their love for agronomy, Abate Nero Trentodoc Brut embodies over forty years of excellence. This historic winery, founded in 1973, brings to life a masterpiece of artisan production that enhances the finest Chardonnay grapes. Awarded the Due Bicchieri by Gambero Rosso, it boasts a distinctive style. A wine of extraordinary aromatic finesse, celebrated since the 1970s by the Brotherhood of the Vine and Wine of Trentino for the unrivalled elegance of its traditional method.
