Description
What kind of wine it is
Bottega Vinai Pinot Nero Trentino is a still red wine with pronounced elegance. On the nose, it offers intense aromas dominated by notes of red fruits, black cherry and jam, interwoven with hints of almond and delicate vanilla nuances. With bottle ageing, the palate develops an excellent structure, delivering velvety sensations and a remarkably harmonious finish with subtle powdery notes.
Where it comes from
This Pinot Noir originates from Trentino, a region whose characteristics favour exceptional aromatic finesse. The vineyards grow on moraine soils exposed to a cold climate, an ideal environment where this variety has thrived since the late nineteenth century. To ensure a balanced flavour profile and proper concentration, yields are kept low, thus providing a faithful expression of the local winegrowing identity.
How it is produced
The vinification process involves maceration and fermentation on the skins for about a week, a crucial stage for optimal extraction of colour and aromas. After a brief period in steel tanks, the wine completes its journey with maturation in oak barrels. This ageing imparts a harmonious profile and a brilliant ruby colour with brick-red highlights, which become more pronounced with ageing.
History and Curiosities
Introduced at the end of the nineteenth century, Pinot Noir has found the ideal environment to express its unmistakable elegance in the cool climate of Trentino, maintaining limited yields to ensure its excellence. Produced by Bottega Vinai, the prestigious line of the historic cooperative Cavit founded in 1950, this red wine is made from small, compact bunches. A wine of extraordinary structure and harmony, it has been celebrated on the world wine scene with prestigious international medals won at the Decanter World Wine Awards and the Global Pinot Noir Masters.
