Vigna Zell · Spumante Metodo Classico Trento VSQ (2023)

  The Cantina di Trento's “Vigna Zell” Spumante Metodo Classico comes from the exceptionally favorable slopes of the Zell district near Trento, where the vines are rooted on limestone and gravel-rich terraces at an altitude of around 500 meters. There, on south-southwest facing plots, the Chardonnay grapes ripen under the influence of the Alpine foehn wind and large temperature fluctuations - conditions that give the base of this sparkling wine a fine minerality and lively freshness. The wine is produced according to the traditional bottle fermentation method (“Metodo Classico”), with a long “sur lie” period that gives it structure and depth - a clear focus on origin and winemaking craftsmanship.

In the glass, Vigna Zell is a brilliant straw yellow with delicate green reflections - an invitation to a sensory journey. The nose reveals elegant aromas of yellow apple, ripe pear, and a delicate yeast or brioche note, combined with a distinct but never intrusive mineral trace. On the palate, the wine surprises with a smooth mousse, lively freshness, and impressive length - its clear lines and great style make it both a stylish accompaniment to an aperitif and a festive food partner - for example, with seafood, fine sushi, or light poultry dishes. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
