About the Wine

The grapes are grown in Trentino, in small vineyards sited on the hillsides, with a good sun exposure and a good ventilation, on poor soils, at an altitude comprised between 300 and 400 m.a.s.l. The grapes are harvested by hand and once in the winery, they are de-stemmed. The fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks, at the temperatures ranging from 25° to 27° C and the grape skins are kept constantly immersed in the juice by punching them down as they are driven to the surface, in order to favour the extraction of aromatic substances and soft tannins. Once the alcoholic fermentation is over the wine is put into small wooden barrels and it undergoes the malolactic fermentation. The wine is then racked and matured in barriques for at least 15 months; after that the wine is blended and stored in stainless tanks and prepared for the bottling. Light ruby red in colour, characteristic for del Pinot Nero. Fruity on the nose with scents of cherry and red berries such as strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. Warm, elegant, soft and persistent on the mouth, with soft tannins and spicy notes due to the ageing in wood. This wine is an excellent accompaniment for a range of dishes which bring out the wines elegance rather than its power. It will keep well and will evolve for a number of years.

About the Producer

 

It was in 1956 when 11 Trentino farmers combined forces to create the Cantina Sociale in their city. The notarial deed, registered on the 17 October certifies: the company purpose is the moral and economic improvement of the members by promoting, through appropriate initiatives an increase in wine production by providing for the process and sale of their common product. Now as back then, their intuition was clear: unity is strength. The creation of a cooperative like the wine cooperative allowed even small producers to face the market and make a profit. This is what a wine cooperative is in our opinion: a place to defend and promote the area and its products thanks to the union of those who live and work in the area every day. The original idea was a winner and the increase in the number of members and the quantity of grapes produced and delivered bears witness to this fact. As early as 1960 the original site in via Verdi was abandoned in favour of a new site in via Fermi, where the Cantina Sociale di Trento remained until 2009. Today the new site is in via dei Viticoltori, in an area surrounded by vineyards to the south of the city. Even in this new phase of its history the Cantina Sociale di Trento chose to keep up with the times and the territory it operates in. Built in accordance with sustainability criteria it meets the needs required by todays standards: production that is compatible with the environment and aimed at continuous quality improvement.
