ABOUT US
History
or legend, the name Rotari derives from the
Longobard King Rotari who fought one of the
most important battles along the valleys of
this territory in his conquest of Italy and
made history with his famous "Edict of
Rotari", a book about the rules of
winemaking.
Talento from the Dolomites
The
Talento seal guarantees that all Rotari
sparkling wines are made in the classical
bottle fermentation method, using the
traditional Chardonnay and Pinot grapes.
Talento wines undergo a second fermentation
in the bottle and are aged on their lees for
an extensive period of time to produce a
complex, elegant wine. This is a laborious
and expensive process used only for the
finest sparkling wines.
Rotari follows this refined sparkling
tradition growing its own grapes in the
heart of the Dolomites at the foothills of
the Italian Alps. This is a mountainous environment
characterized by crystal clear sunlight and
a cool breeze from the over 400 lakes and
numerous glaciers of the surrounding
mountains peaking at over 9000 feet. This is
the ideal environment for producing elegant,
vivid and crisp sparkling wines that fully
express the Talento style.
Rotari’s aging on the lees lasts for a
minimum of 24 months and produces a
sparkling wine that is both a perfect
aperitif as well as a noble companion to
both Italian and International cuisines.
Full and toasty, with aromas of wheat bread
and Golden Delicious apples, Rotari is
consistently recognized for its
consistent quality, year after year.
