Vintage Details

Each vintage of Trento Brut Rosé DOC - Altemasi is born from a careful selection of grapes harvested by hand between late August and early September. The cool climate of the Trentino valleys, moderated by Alpine currents and the diurnal temperature range, promotes a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, providing a natural balance between acidity and aroma.

Vinification and Aging

Vinification begins with fermentation in stainless steel, where the base wines are kept at a low temperature to preserve the most delicate aromas. The secondary fermentation takes place using the Metodo Classico, meaning refermentation in the bottle, followed by aging on the lees which lasts for 18 to 24 months. This process allows for the development of complex aromas, fine bubbles, and a balanced softness.
