Rotari Brut Trento DOC (75cl, 12.5%)

Rotari Brut is a traditional-method sparkling wine from Trento DOC in Trentino, northern Italy, made from Chardonnay grown in the hills along the Adige Valley. It is bottled at 12.5% ABV. The fruit is hand-picked and only the free-run must is used. The base wines are made in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation, and the second fermentation takes place in the bottle in which the wine is sold. It shows ripe yellow fruit with lemon and bergamot citrus, plus bread-crust and sweet-almond hints from time on its yeasts. The mousse is soft and creamy, the texture rich and the finish long and persistent.
