TRENTO SPUMANTE BRUT 'DOMINI' ABATE NERO 2018 DESCRIPTION

Abate Nero's Trento Spumante Brut "Domini" is a territorial expression that wears the soft guise of Chardonnay, polished over a long period of patient waiting on the lees. It denotes the recognisable trait of the Abate Nero winery, traced by the union of the Lunelli and de Castel Terlago families that guide and animate it. A name, a guarantee of excellence: Abate Nero sparkling wines are distinguished by a particular style of elegance and finesse, combined with complexity and body. In the hills of Trento, facing the Dolomites, the Abate Nero winery has been working since 1973 towards the territorial expression and enhancement of Trentodoc.

"Domini" Brut by Abate Nero is a Metodo Classico produced in Trento and made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. They are the fruit of a terroir that is extremely suited to sparkling wine, enclosed between the Dolomites and Lake Garda. Following the harvest, the grapes are softly pressed and sent to vinification. Once the base wine is obtained, it is bottled and made ready for re-fermentation in the bottle at the end of which it remains on the lees for about 70 months.

Abate Nero's Brut Spumante "Domini" shows itself in the glass with a golden yellow colour made even brighter by the lively and persistent perlage. The nose opens with a bouquet reminiscent of candied citrus fruit, bergamot, apple and ripe yellow fruit, with a background of mineral notes, bakery and a mouth-watering texture of toasted nuts. In the mouth it reveals great balance and an enveloping body, the fruit of the long ageing that has enhanced the taste with complexity and structure. It is defined by substance and elegance. It represents a style icon to always have 'at hand' for the best occasions.
