- TRENTO SPUMANTE BRUT 'RISERVA DEL FONDATORE 976' LETRARI 2011 DESCRIPTION
- The “Riserva del Fondatore 976” is the most prestigious Trento Doc from the Letrari winery, produced only in the best vintages and with very long refinements on the lees, it gives the emotion that only the great Classic Method sparkling wines can express. A glass reserved for special occasions, elegant, refined, fresh and complex, highlights the potential of the Cantina di Rovereto in the production of high
- quality sparkling wines. The Vallagarina area, with its cool and temperate climate, the notable temperature variations between day and night, and the poor and rocky soils, confirms its vocation for making excellent sparkling wine bases from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.
- The Trento Spumante Brut "Riserva del Fondatore 976" comes from a careful selection of the best vineyards, only in years in which particular climatic conditions can guarantee the right concentration and aromatic richness. The obsessive attention in the vineyard and the management with low yields per hectare, allow us to bring ripe and highly balanced grapes to the cellar. After the harvest and the soft pressing, the free
- run must of each individual plot is sent to fermentation. Only after a few months of maturation is the cuvée created, made up of equal parts Chardonnay, which guarantees finesse and elegance, and Pinot Noir, which gives the blend character and structure. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with a period on the lees of 96 months. The choice of dgorgement tardif, or a disgorgement split over time, allows for sparkling wines with a very fresh and fragrant profile, despite the long evolution sur lattes.
- The Brut “Riserva del Fondatore 976” Letrari is a Classic Method for connoisseurs and lovers of long refinements. The 96 months on the lees give the sparkling wine an uncommon richness and aromatic complexity, well supported by the mineral freshness typical of the terroir and enhanced by marketing with dgorgement tardif. In the glass it has a golden color, with a delicate perlage, of extreme finesse and persistence. The olfactory picture opens on a palette of aromas, ranging from the classic notes of bread crust to hints of pastry, ripe yellow fruit, citrus peel, dried fruit and nuances of soft spices. The sip is rich, broad and creamy, with deep and persistent aromas, crossed by a fresh mineral vein, which makes the sip dynamic and still full of lively expressive tension.
