Il Conte 2021 BIO MANINCOR...
A wine which tastes of Manincor; truly unique. The essence of the hills around the wine estate and the lake, full of vigour and warmth.<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %<br /><br />Location & soil<br />The Manincor estate and the Panholzerhof, both sites are south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 m above sea level; soils are rich<br />comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and other morainal deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest in all South Tyrol, pre-destined for the<br />production of great red wines.<br /><br />Vintage<br />2021 was a relatively late year. The harvest began on September 13 with Sauvignon Blanc in Lieben Aich and ended on October 20 with Cabernet Sauvignon in Manincor.<br />The ripening period in particular was char-acterised by almost perfect weather, with sunny days and clear nights where it cooled down properly. So, the year 2021 is all<br />about balance. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in an optimal balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol char-acterise the vintage.<br />From end of September to mid of October we were able to harvest our Merlot, Lagrein and Cabernet Franc one after the other with perfect timing. The yield was 59 hl per<br />hectare.<br /><br />Expansion<br />Grapes from each parcel of vineyard were crushed separately and fermented in a mixture of oak and cement vats and stainless steel tanks using yeasts occurring naturally<br />in the vineyard. Skin contact lasted ten days and was rigorously controlled, during which time the cap of skins was pushed down into the fermenting liquid daily as it rose to<br />the surface in order to extract velvety, assertive but ripe tannins. Fresh fruit and elegance are the main qualities we strive for in this wine. The young wine was transferred<br />into oak barrels of varying sizes where it matured for twelve months.<br /><br />Data<br />Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13 % Vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation; 5.6 g/l<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br />Concentrated bright ruby. A rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate,<br />liquorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Almost Burgundian in its drinkability.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2023 to the end of 2028.<br />Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F<br />Delicious to accompany well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.<br /><br />Our claim<br />Biodynamic<br />Vegan<br />

Spumante D'Asti BERA 2023...
The grapes used to produce this finely aromatic Asti spumante come from Moscato bianco vineyards on soil rich in limestone.

Trento DOC Altemasi Brut...
Altemasi Rosé<br />TRENTO DOC METODO CLASSICO Altemasi Rosé represents a harmonious union between the elegance of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir, for a refined<br />bouquet of small fruits.<br /><br />Area of production: The wines of this important cuvée come from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes harvested in the high hillside vineyards around Trento and on the<br />Brentonico plateau at altitudes between 450 and 600 m above sea level, facing south and southwest. The Chardonnay is grown on soils that are mainly of fluvial-glacial<br />origin, of medium depth, tend to be calcareous and rich in skeleton. The soils chosen for the Pinot Noir are of volcanic origin, originating on the basalt of the Brentonico<br />plateau, with a medium texture and well structured.<br />Vinification and refinement:The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in crates to the cellars where vinification takes place. Only the whole Chardonnay berries are<br />slowly pressed to separate the different fractions of must which, inoculated with selected yeasts, ferments at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine<br />from Pinot Noir is made using the 'submerged cap' system, which consists of leaving the must in contact with the skins until the first signs of fermentation begin; then only<br />the must is separated and fermentation continues in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. This allows us to obtain a soft, delicate colour from the skins, a distinctive<br />feature of Cavit's Trentodoc rosé. Foaming in the bottle takes place the following spring and the wine remains on the lees for at least 15 months. On disgorging, a small<br />amount of 'liqueur d'expédition' is added.<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol: 12.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6 g/l<br />Net dry extract: 22 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 7 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />Tasting notes: A Classical Method sparkling wine, pale pink in colour with light copper highlights, creamy white mousse, fine and persistent perlage, complex bouquet with<br />fruity notes reminiscent of ripe cherries, redcurrants and red apples, a rich, well-balanced flavour with a very persistent aftertaste.Serving suggestions: Suitable as an aperitif,<br />but especially at table with soups and main courses of white meat or game.<br />Serving temperature: 8-10 °C<br />

Spumante DOC Blauwal...
DER BLAUWAL Riserva 2009 Trento DOC<br /><br />From Chardonnay grapes<br /><br />Der Blauwal is our classic method reserve. A single vineyard, a single vintage and a single grape variety. Time is a precious commodity: it takes at least 84 months on the<br />lees to transfer the complex history of the vintage, the identity of the vineyard and the characteristics of the variety into the wine. It is an extra brut with a dosage of about 3<br />g/l. The enveloping taste and structure are merited by the quality of the grapes from old vines and the ripeness of the fruit. To prevent this complexity from being diluted in<br />any way, the final topping up, which follows disgorging, is done with the same wine as the start.<br />IN BRIEF<br /><br />Grapes, 100% Chardonnay<br /><br />VINEYARD, single vineyard in Pressano, pergola over 45 years old<br /><br />SOIL, Werfen sandstone with the presence of gypsum and limestone<br /><br />VINIFICATION, soft pressing with 50% yield, fermentation in used barriques, malolactic fermentation.<br /><br />Maturation, at least 84 months<br /><br />DOSAGE, Extra Brut<br />

Franciacorta Extra Brut...
Blànc<br />A fascinating sip fused in a dynamic perlage that translates the essence of the material into refined elegance, whose key to interpretation remains the full structure in a<br />paradigm of unprecedented rationality, the nerve centre of freshness and pungent minerality. Interweavings of impalpable chalkiness, puffs of powder, yellow citrus, almond,<br />salt, broom and honeysuckle are read as tension and depth, an authentic goblet, free gastronomic thought. The gracefulness of the sip is the unmistakable stylistic feature,<br />of which the biting vertical development in an author's palate is surprising.<br />BLÀNC COMBINATION<br />One label and two numbers: 20 vintage variables from 37 selected vineyards. The strength and beauty of vines that are more than three decades old, with roots that dig into<br />the many layers of the terroir, to draw from them distinctive nutrients and unique microelements. The ultimate expression of our Franciacorta.<br /><br />Grapes: Chardonnay 50%, Pinot Blanc 50%.<br />
