600UNO Metodo Classico Brut Trento DOC

Country: Italy
Place of Origin: Trentino Alto Adige
Winery: Concilio

Description: Concilio Brut has a very lively, vivacious and persistent perlage, though not obtrusive, pale golden yellow in color with a fine, yeasty aroma, elegant and complex. On the palate it is dry, well structured, lightly aromatic and long.

Production: The grapes are hand picked, (destemming, skin contact for 10-12 hours, though not for Pinot Noir, which is immediately pressed, followed by clarification through natural sedimentation, the addition of cultured yeast, fermentation at controlled temperature (16-18°C) and maturation on the fine lees for 3-4 months prior to “tirage”). A part of the wine (about 10%) fermented in barriques made of French oak using the technique of constantly stirring up the lees known as “battonage”. In spring following the harvest the cuvée for the base wine is prepared to undergo a slow second fermentation in bottle. The wine is kept in bottle with the lees for at least 48 months.

Food Combination: As an aperitif and with numerous local Trentino flavoured dishes, hors doeuvre, white meat, fish.
