Description
What kind of wine it is
Cuvée 601 Dosaggio Zero from Cantina di Trento is a refined sparkling wine crafted using the Traditional Method, showcasing the full potential of Chardonnay. In the glass, it displays a bright, intense straw yellow hue, crossed by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is complex and elegant, with distinct notes of yeast. The choice of zero dosage delivers a dry, fresh and structured sip, enriched by mature fruity nuances and mineral accents. The vibrant acidity finds perfect balance in the creamy texture, ensuring a finish of excellent persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes destined for this sparkling wine flourish on the hills surrounding the city of Trento. The vineyards are situated at six hundred metres above sea level, enjoying an ideal mountain climate and excellent sun exposure. Rooted in soils with a predominantly calcareous composition, the vines absorb elements that translate into remarkable gustatory tension and a pronounced mineral imprint. This connection with the natural environment is the essence of the Trento designation, guaranteeing an authentic expression of the mountain landscape and the agricultural vocation of the local winegrowers.
How it is produced
The production process begins in the second half of August with a rigorous manual harvest. In the winery, the bunches are destemmed and subjected to a brief skin maceration, followed by natural settling of the must. After the first fermentation at a controlled temperature, the base undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle in spring, as required by the Traditional Method. The long ageing on the lees of at least thirty months imparts characteristic softness and pronounced aromatic complexity. The absence of sugars during topping up defines the pure character of this pas dosé sparkling wine, enhancing its fresh and linear component.
History and Curiosities
Born from the passion of the Cantina Sociale di Trento, founded in 1956, this sparkling wine embodies the authentic essence of the region. The Chardonnay grapes, hand-picked from high-altitude vineyards on limestone soils, give the wine exceptional freshness. Thanks to a maturation of at least 30 months on the lees according to the traditional method, the bubbles acquire an elegant, creamy texture. As an excellent Trento DOC pas dosé, it offers a dry and vibrant sip that, thanks to the absence of added sugars, masterfully enhances the distinctive Trentino mineral notes.
