Description
What kind of wine it is
The Müller Thurgau Brut sparkling wine from Cavit is a refined expression of Trentino Alto Adige. Born in the territory of the Dolomiti Vineyards, it reveals in the glass a straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights, enlivened by an extremely fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is delicately aromatic and enriched with a spicy note. Thanks to the prise de mousse with the Charmat Method and the well-balanced Brut dosage, the palate is dry, pleasantly smooth and fresh in character.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in the heart of the Dolomiti Vineyards area, between the Val di Cembra, the Cavedine Valley and the Brentonico Plateau. The vineyards reach up to 800 metres above sea level, benefiting from an Alpine mountain climate whose temperature variations encourage the development of clear and complex aromas. The geology is varied: the volcanic soils of porphyric origin in the Val di Cembra alternate with the fluvio-glacial soils of Cavedine and Brentonico, giving the Müller Thurgau an authentic vitality.
How it is produced
The process begins with manual harvesting and selection of the bunches. This is followed by gentle pressing and a brief cold maceration on the skins to extract the fragrance of the must. The white vinification at controlled temperature preserves the aromatic integrity of the Müller Thurgau. Finally, the slow prise de mousse in autoclave according to the Charmat Method ensures a final result that is dry, harmonious and highly enjoyable.
History and Curiosities
Created in 1882 by Professor Hermann Müller from the cross between Riesling Renano and Chasselas, this grape variety excels in the Trentino region. The Special Vintage Cuvée from Cavit celebrates this historical heritage and the deep connection with the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT, where the vines grow up to 800 metres above sea level. Expertly crafted using the Charmat Method, this sparkling wine delivers to the palate all the elegance and freshness typical of the mountain climate.
