Trento DOC - Dosaggio Zero

Description
A vintage traditional-method sparkling wine made from the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grown on the hillsides. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected between late August and early September, then undergo a long period on the lees to gain character and complexity. The combination of the two grapes and partial oak ageing give richness of aroma, structure and pleasure.
