Description
Type of wine
The Bottega Vinai Teroldego Rotaliano by Cavit is a still red wine that expresses the authentic soul of Trentino-Alto Adige. This 100% Teroldego, classified as Teroldego Rotaliano, is distinguished by its structured and enveloping sensory profile. In the glass, it presents a velvety and fruity character, supported by balanced tannins that make it full-bodied and austere. Ageing in barriques and oak barrels gives it breadth and a continuous texture, offering a deep and satisfying tasting experience.
Origin
This wine originates in the Piana Rotaliana, an area located north of Trento in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. The area is the historical cradle of the grape variety and is characterised by soils composed of gravelly deposits of glacial origin, brought downstream by the Noce stream. The vines, cultivated using the traditional Trentino pergola system, benefit from these ideal soil and climate conditions to develop bunches with a leathery skin and juicy pulp. This interaction between soil and climate gives the wine its unmistakable varietal identity.
Production
Vinification begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by maceration on the skins for 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes an ageing period of approximately six months, resting partly in barriques and partly in traditional Slavonian oak barrels. This process allows the structure to be enriched and the tannins softened, preparing it to best express its organoleptic characteristics before bottling.
History and Curiosities
The Bottega Vinai Teroldego Rotaliano by Cavit has its ancient roots in the renowned Piana Rotaliana, considered for centuries the historical cradle of Trentino's famous 'prince' grape variety. The production area, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo, rests on gravelly deposits of glacial origin formed by the Noce stream, an essential element for its identity. The vines still grow according to the ancient Trentino pergola method. The well-established rural tradition has led the wine to achieve important international recognition, combining history with elegance.
