Bottle-fermented wine among mountain valleys
Trentino’s slopes and varied valley soils provide the vineyard setting.
Trento’s sparkling wines use Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero and Meunier, alone or together. The vineyards occupy suitable slopes across several Trentino valleys. Limestone debris is common, but porphyry in Cembra and other geological formations add variety. Elevation and the orientation of each valley create different vineyard environments for wines made by fermentation in the bottle.
