Trentodoc is the collective territorial mark for eligible Trento DOC bottle-fermented sparkling wines from members of the Istituto Trento Doc.
The Trento specification builds sparkling wine around bottle fermentation.
Trento DOC covers white and rosé sparkling wines made by a second fermentation in bottle. Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero and Meunier are permitted, alone or together. The bottle remains part of the work through lees aging, riddling and disgorgement: these are production stages, rather than a promise that every cuvée uses the same grape mixture.
Trento DOC requires at least fifteen months on the fermentation lees, counted from bottling and no earlier than January 1 after the harvest. A vintage can be stated after at least 24 months on the lees. Riserva requires at least 36 months on the lees, grapes with at least 10% natural alcohol potential, and the vintage on the label.
The grapes for Trento DOC come from suitably located vineyard parcels in the listed municipalities of the province of Trento. The delimited production area, rather than every parcel in the province, defines this wine’s geographic scope.
