In the background, the brioche note appears again, now with a touch of toast and fine yeast tones, typical of high-quality traditional bottle fermentation. The acidity presents itself as lively yet harmoniously integrated, supporting the brut-dry style. The body appears medium-weight, taut and fine, with a clear structure. A discreet minerality recalls barren mountain soils and lends additional depth to the wine. The finish is long, marked by grapefruit, red berries and a hint of salty freshness that whets the appetite for the next sip. Typical of the cuvée from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this Trentodoc showcases the strengths of both grape varieties. Chardonnay contributes finesse, freshness, citrus notes and the elegant brioche aromatics. Pinot Noir adds structure, red fruit and a hint of spice. The result is precise, straightforward and at the same time charmingly playful. The alpine origin from Trentino-South Tyrol clearly shapes the style. Cooler nights in the vineyards of the Dolomites allow for slow, even ripening. This creates grapes with intense aromatics and crisp acidity. Limestone and dolomite soils promote a fine mineral vein that remains perceptible on the finish and lends the wine its elegant tension.

Pinot Noir contributes power, red fruits and gentle spice, giving the rosé its delicate salmon hue and notable aromatic density. Harvesting takes place in several passes, depending on the ripeness level of each parcel. A fresh, clear character is the focus, so the grapes usually reach the cellar early in the day. The grapes are transported quickly and gently in small containers to limit oxidation and preserve the aromatic potential in a purer form. In the cellar, everything begins with gentle pressing. For the rosé style, contact between the must and the Pinot Noir skins is kept brief, in order to obtain only the desired delicate salmon color and fine tannin structure.
