The Trento Abate Nero Spumante Brut ‘Domini Nero’ is a sparkling wine with a refined and fragrant taste, at the highest quality level of the estate's production. This label was created in 2008 as a new challenge for the winery, the challenge of producing a great Trento sparkling wine from only Pinot Nero grapes. In fact, traditionally the best Trentodoc wines are produced with pure Chardonnay or predominantly with Pinot Nero, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Bianco, other varieties allowed by the regulations, often relegated to a marginal role.
Abate Nero ‘Domini Nero’ Spumante Trento Brut is a 100% Pinot Nero cultivated in the cool climate of the Trento province area. Following the harvest, the grapes are transferred to the winery and vinified in white in a traditional manner through soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the sparkling base is placed in bottles and added with tirage syrup for the second fermentation according to the Metodo Classico, associated with at least 60 months of aging on the lees. Once the aging period is completed,sur lie finally proceeds with the disgorgement and the resulting Brut dosage.
In visual analysis, the Trento Spumante Brut 'Domini Nero' from the Abate Nero winery expresses a brilliant straw-yellow color with fine and persistent effervescence. The aromatic spectrum is refined, described by sensations of white peach and small red fruits accompanied by delicate hints of mountain herbs and mineral notes. Fragrant aromas of yeast and bread crust complete the olfactory context. On the palate, the soft effervescence is supported by a dynamic fresh-salty verve in a finish of great pleasantness and exceptional taste-olfactory correspondence that leaves a perception of verticality.
