ROTARI FLAVIO TALENTO TRENTO DOC

Produced exclusively from grapes which are grown in estate vineyards in the best areas in the hills of the Adige valley in Trentino.

The wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes in traditional method with fermentation in the bottle.

VINIFICATION
‘Metodo Classico’ (traditional) in conformance with the Talento Trento DOC discipline.

PREPARATION OF THE BLEND
The grapes are rigorously hand-picked and selected and the stems are separated with caution to prevent damaging of the grapes. Successively, the grapes are pressed softly and left to macerate for 48 hours at cold temperature. After adding the carefully selected yeasts, the must is left to ferment: 60% in stainless steel tanks and 40% in oak barrels of 1-2 years old. After the first alcoholic fermentation the wine is left to lie on the lees for a period of 5 months. In February the blend is made from the Chardonnay fermented on both steel and oak.

TIRAGE
Yeast and sugar is added to the blend, which is then bottled. The process of second alcoholic fermentation occurs inside the bottle.

AGEING IN THE BOTTLE
After fermentation, the sparkling wine is left to lie on the lees for another period of at least 5 years.
