Trento Brut Millesimato DOC 2021 Altemasi

What kind of wine it is

Trento Brut Millesimato by Altemasi is a sparkling white wine made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the best-suited vineyards of Trentino. The style exhibits a fresh and refined profile, with balanced acidity and a possible mineral character, as often found in wines from this area. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle using the Traditional Method. Ageing on the lees for over thirty months creates a very fine perlage and measured structure, ideal for those seeking personality and immediate drinkability.

Where it comes from

It comes from the prime vineyards of Trentino, where the climate enhances freshness and natural acidity.

How it is produced

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, selecting the best Chardonnay bunches. After gentle pressing, fermentation takes place at controlled temperature to preserve freshness and aromas. The secondary fermentation in the bottle follows the Traditional Method, with ageing on the lees for at least thirty months. This long maturation develops aromatic complexity and creaminess, with the style being Brut, as stated by its designation.

Tasting notes

The colour is straw yellow with greenish highlights and a very fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals fresh citrus, white peach, yeast notes and fragrances from the ageing on the lees. On the palate, it is dry, with lively acidity and a balanced structure. The sip may express refined complexity, supported by savouriness and a persistence that hints at citrus and mineral notes, as typical for wines of this type.

Food pairings

This Traditional Method wine pairs well with crunchy mixed fried fish, such as prawns and calamari, as well as lemon scaloppine, thanks to its acidity and savoury character.

When to serve it

Trento Brut Millesimato by Altemasi should be served well chilled in a flute or tulip glass to best enhance the perlage. Perfect for aperitifs and elegant lunches, it also adapts well to informal occasions. The acidic structure and extended lees ageing contribute to providing freshness and aromatic complexity, ensuring a refined and persistent drinking experience.
