Description
What type of wine it is
Bottega Vinai Marzemino by Cavit is a still red wine made from Marzemino grapes, an authentic expression of the Trentino appellation. This wine stands out for its aromatic profile dominated by notes of ripe cherry and sweet violet, accompanied by a pleasant freshness and elegant spicy and liquorice notes. On the palate, it is harmonious, round and well-balanced, thanks to a moderate acidity and smooth tannins. The vinification and subsequent ageing in steel enhance the fragrance of the fruit, making it ideal for accompanying savoury starters, structured pasta dishes and roasted white meats.
Where it comes from
The Marzemino grapes used for this wine come from Vallagarina, located in Trentino along the banks of the River Adige, between the territories of Volano, Isera and Rovereto. The climate in the area is sub-continental, characterised by cold, snowy winters and hot, breezy summers with cool nights, optimal conditions that favour the aromatic development of the clusters. The foothill soils are brown and of medium depth, originating from the mineralisation of volcanic basalt rocks and rich in clays, particularly montmorillonite. This specific area boasts a deep historical connection with the variety, so much so that it is even celebrated in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's famous 'Don Giovanni'.
How it is produced
The creation of this wine begins with a meticulous hand-harvest, aimed at selecting only the clusters that have reached perfect ripeness. The red wine vinification involves one week of maceration on the skins, carried out in stainless steel tanks to extract colour and aromas while preserving the typical varietal freshness. After fermentation, the wine matures for six months in stainless steel, ensuring the maximum expression of fruit purity and structural stability. A further period of four months' resting in the bottle follows before the product is ready for tasting.
History and curiosities
The Marzemino from the Bottega Vinai range celebrates a historic grape variety deeply rooted in the picturesque terrains of Vallagarina, right along the flourishing slopes lapped by the River Adige. The intimate and centuries-old link between this noble variety and its territory of origin is so distinguished that it was even immortalised in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s famous opera "Don Giovanni", which exalted its magnificence. The authenticity and the grand oenological tradition of this wine were then honoured at the prestigious ENOTecnico FEM competition.
