THE WINE
The Alperegis Pas Dosè of the Rotari winery is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. It is a selection of grapes harvested in the hilly vineyards surrounding the Piana Rotaliana.
This Trento DOC represents the essence of the AlpeRegis sparkling wine line and stands out for its maturity and balance.
THE WINEMAKING
The grapes are manually harvested at a more advanced stage of ripeness than the grapes used for the bases of the other sparkling wines. This process allows obtaining a more controlled acidity while keeping the aromatic freshness intact. After winemaking, the wine is assembled and bottled for the second fermentation; there is immense care in selecting the yeasts for this second process; those chosen give the taste roundness. The wine ages in the bottle on the lees for 60 months.
THE TASTING
Straw yellow, with a very fine perlage. The aroma is exquisite, with notes of hazelnut and dried fruit that harmonizes well with the fruity hints of peach, apricot and yellow apple. Very fresh, creamy and dry on the palate, this Trento DOC is undoubtedly an elegant wine with a perfect match between aromas and taste and an infinite persistence.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect with the entire meal if the menu is fish and shellfish based. However, you should also try it with vegetable-based dishes.
