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 />

Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2022...

On the label the Latin phrase 'Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas' means 'the farmer with the plough directs the work'. We chose it when we acquired the vineyard and<br />became its owners. It is a vineyard on the hill of Mango, a village in the Langa. We bought it in 1990. The letter G highlighted on the label underlines the transmission from<br />father to son of the knowledge of the vineyard: Giuseppe, Giacomo and Giuseppe again.<br /><br />Denomination: Moscato d'Asti DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: Produced with 100% Moscato d'Asti grapes from our own vineyard in Mango.<br />Winery: Maceration with the skins for a few hours in a horizontal press followed by pressing. White vinification with prise de mousse in temperature-controlled autoclaves for<br />20 days at about 4°. At the end of fermentation, stabilisation with refrigeration at - 4°, microfiltration and refinement in the bottle for a few weeks.<br />Tasting: Brilliant straw yellow colour, fine foam and rich perlage. Extraordinarily fresh and very varied bouquet, with fresh fruit, orange blossom, rose and musk among the<br />many notes. Sweet but very graceful taste, aromatic characteristic of grapes, delicious and with long persistence. Accompanies: fruit desserts, fruit, dry pastries, panettone,<br />hazelnut cake, special cheeses such as Castelmagno.

Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2022...

MOSCATO D'ASTI<br />DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA<br />Moscato is part of the culinary tradition of Piedmont. We strive to preserve its full energy and wish to pair it with the most joyful moments in life. (Milena Vaira)<br />DESCRIPTION: Moscato is a beautifully aromatic variety that is deeply rooted in the winemaking heritage of Piemonte. We pick our grapes at full ripening, when the berries<br />start to be gold in color. Our dream is to bring all the perfumes, the freshness and the texture intact to the bottle.<br />VARIETY: 100% Moscato bianco.<br />VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Steep, old estate vineyards.<br />HARVEST AND WINEMAKING: Moscato harvest starts usually around the end of August. Picking decisions are individual to each site. Aldo always gives few more days of<br />ripening to this variety, which is a challenging decision in a crucial period yet rewarded by the beautiful fruits. Cold settling followed by a slow fermentation at low<br />temperature. Fermentation is stopped by drop of temperature, and the wine is kept refrigerated until bottling.<br />TASTING NOTES: Beautiful soft color with green reflections. Aromas of fruit with yellow flesh: apricot, peach, exotic fruits. Then elderflower, pear and a hint of sage.<br />Delicate and persistent bubbles, refreshing and cleansing the palate. The balance between sweetness and freshness continues in a long and creamy finish,<br />surprisingly savory.<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 />

Very cold winter: February with snow and minimum temperatures as low as -7°C. With the onset of spring, the weather remained cold and damp and the<br />vines began budding about ten days later than usual. From mid-April, an abnormal rise in temperatures to 29°C favoured abundant flower fertilisation. With the arrival of May,<br />however, the rain returned. It was only from 15 July that the real summer was seen, which continued until 25 August with temperatures up to above average, with almost<br />torrid heat in August. The much-desired summer rain arrived in the third ten days of August and met the water requirements of the vines. The harvest that began on 13<br />August gave us a vintage characterised by a very generous nature, well managed by thinning, with beautiful, healthy and perfectly ripened grapes.<br />Average yield per hectare: 8,300 kilograms of grapes, equivalent to 3,570 litres of wine (wine yield: 43%).<br />Vinification: Franciacorta Vintage Collection wines are the fruit of careful grape selection and skilful vinification conducted in full respect of the Ca' del Bosco Method. The<br />grapes, freshly hand-picked into small crates, are graded and cooled. Each bunch of grapes is selected by expert eyes and hands, to then benefit from exclusive 'grape<br />spas'. A special system washes and whirlpools the bunches, using three soaking tubs and a drying tunnel. After crushing in the absence of oxygen, all the musts of the<br />base wines ferment in small oak barrels. In order to seek maximum aromatic complexity and expressive power, without losing elegance, the barrel elevage lasts only 5<br />months. A pair of flying tanks allows the wine to be transferred by gravity from the small barrels to the ageing tanks. After 7 months from the harvest, the cuvée is created.<br />The 2018 Vintage Collection Extra Brut is the result of a skilful blend of 26 base wines of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir that give the finished product a particular<br />profile, rich and complex. The higher proportion of Pinot Noir gives it power and nobility, further reinforced by a long bottle ageing. The dégorgement takes place in the<br />absence of oxygen, using a unique system invented and patented by Ca' del Bosco.
