Description
What kind of wine it is
Domini Nero Brut Abate Nero is a sparkling wine produced using the Traditional Method that reveals the character of Pinot Noir. It displays a bright straw yellow colour, enlivened by an extremely fine perlage. On the nose, it offers elegant notes of white peach and small red fruits, intertwined with hints of mountain herbs. On the palate, a clear verticality emerges, where savouriness and freshness blend into a long, fruity finish. It is a wine of solid harmony, ideal for enhancing shellfish, fried dishes and rich risottos, perfectly balancing the subtle sweetness of the dishes.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine is born in Trentino Alto Adige, reflecting the strong vocation of the Trento region. The grapes come from mountainous areas where Pinot Noir shapes a taut and defined profile. Abate Nero enhances this land with purely artisanal work. The production is a true tribute to Champagne, translating that discipline into a wine with a savoury and deeply mineral character.
How it is produced
The process begins with white vinification and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in stainless steel. The prise de mousse takes place according to the Traditional Method, with a long rest on selected lees for at least sixty months. This period enriches the wine with complexity, softening the strength of the grape variety. The meticulous ageing ensures a savoury freshness and marked precision, with a harmonious and persistent fruity return.
History and Curiosities
Created in 2008 to pay tribute to the French tradition, the Trentodoc Millesimato by Abate Nero enhances the elegance of pure Pinot Noir. The 2019 vintage confirms the artisanal vocation of the winery through a rigorous bottle refermentation. Ageing for at least 60 months on the lees gives this Classic Method a profound complexity and a captivating mineral texture. On the palate, the savoury verticality and notes of small red fruits blend together to ideally accompany risottos and shellfish.
