Description
What kind of wine it is
Pedrotti Trento Brut Metodo Classico is a sparkling wine of remarkable structure and depth. The result of a meticulous blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it displays a straw yellow colour enhanced by golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, inviting notes of bread crust and ripe fruit emerge, accompanied by delicate tropical nuances. The palate reveals a full body, enriched by intense tertiary notes of black truffle and undergrowth that provide a long and highly refined finish.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in Trentino Alto Adige, in the heart of the Trento area, in the locality of Nomi. The Pedrotti winery, a historic family-run business founded in 1901, has been enhancing the excellence of mountain grapes for generations. The strong vocation of this area is reflected in the glass, where the cool climate brings out the varietal characteristics of the vines. The meticulous approach in the vineyard ensures an authentic expression of the territory, translating the peculiarities of the Trentino hills into a sip with an elegant and distinctive character.
How it is produced
Production follows the principles of the Metodo Classico, which involves secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine then undergoes a lengthy maturation on the lees in cool natural caves, a crucial stage for developing the aromatic complexity and structural depth that distinguish it. At disgorgement, the Brut dosage balances the palate with a measured residual sugar, defining the flavour profile with great finesse. This slow evolution ensures perfect harmony and a vibrant drinking experience.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1901 in Trentino-Alto Adige, the family-run Pedrotti winery has passed down the art of the Metodo Classico from generation to generation. Under the guidance of Donatella and Chiara, this prestigious sparkling wine was born, its charm lying precisely in the slow passage of time. The Trento Brut Riserva 12 undergoes an exceptional twelve-year maturation, resting in the cool and silence of an evocative cave. This long wait gives the wine an elegant structure, enhancing its complex aromas of bread crust and unmistakable notes of black truffle.
