Trento DOC Riserva Brut Nature 2019 Borgo dei Posseri

What kind of wine it is

Trento Riserva Brut Nature by Borgo dei Posseri is a Classic Method sparkling wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Trentino area. This label represents a dosage-free Riserva, conceived to express a dry, precise, and elegant style, where the structure is defined by the extended aging on the lees. The vinification process involves an initial aging in steel tanks followed by 50 months on the lees, ensuring a full and complex profile supported by marked freshness.

Where it comes from

This sparkling wine has its roots in a mountain environment, with Pinot Noir vineyards situated between 520 and 720 meters above sea level. The altitude plays a key role in defining its style as it accentuates the freshness and greater precision on the palate that characterize the best Brut Nature wines. The territorial imprint clearly emerges in the wine’s vitality and gustatory tension, enhancing the purity of the fruit and the strength of its place of origin.

How it is produced

Production follows the strict Classic Method and begins with eight months of maturation in steel to preserve the clarity and cleanliness of the aromatic profile. Next, bottle fermentation introduces a prolonged refinement of 50 months in contact with the lees, an essential step to build structure and develop deep aromas and a creamy texture. The choice to present it as a Brut Nature, without added sugar dosage, guarantees a dry finish that amplifies the varietal essence.

Tasting notes

To the eye, a very fine and persistent perlage stands out, a tell-tale sign of long lees aging and meticulous cellar work. The aromatic bouquet offers refined scents and a profound aromatic complexity, the result of extended maturation, which maintains an elegant and measured style. On the palate, the entry is full and enveloping, evolving into a tense and vibrant sip, marked by a dry finish and a pleasant creaminess that carries the tasting progression.

Food pairings

Its dry nature makes it ideal for pairing with fish dishes, where its freshness helps cleanse the palate and supports delicate preparations. It matches beautifully with light first courses, non-greasy fried foods, and sautéed vegetables, enhancing crisp textures without overpowering flavors. Perfect with lake and Northern Italian cuisine, such as pan-fried trout or a seafood risotto, it also pairs superbly with the classic mixed fried selection.

When to serve it

This sparkling wine is the right choice for occasions requiring precision and clarity, and is perfect from an aperitif to an entire fish-based dinner. It is immediately approachable thanks to the freshness from the mountain terroir, while its structure from prolonged aging appeals even to those seeking greater complexity. It can be enjoyed right away for its liveliness or left to rest for further evolution, always maintaining a tense and persistent style.
