Hofstätter Michei Trento Extra Brut DOC

A Trento DOC blanc de blancs from Hofstätter in Alto Adige, made entirely from Chardonnay grown in vineyards at 850 metres above sea level. It rests on its lees for at least 48 months and is an Extra Brut. This is a high-altitude Trento DOC, with character and elegance in the same glass. The colour is a clear pale straw with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose opens with yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus, then turns to bread and yeast. The palate is fresh and pleasantly savoury, with very good length. Seafood starters suit it well, such as octopus and potato salad.
