Grape variety
Teroldego on the old Schwarzmannn rootstock (V.Riparia x V. Rupestris)
Training system
Double Trentino arbour connected with 5.00 x 0.60 m plant spacing.
3300 vines per hectare.
Two fruit canes per vine with a total load of 20 buds
Terrain
Alluvial, gravelly, former river-bed and relative basin of the River Noce, composed of stones, known as "sassi robi", covered with a surface layer of top soil.
Grape-harvesting period
Harvested from 20th to 22nd September 2007 after the first white varieties, to achieve balanced acidity and an abundant content of grape sugar.
Fermentation
The grapes, picked by hand, reach the winery where they are crushed and pumped into vats for fermentation with skin contact. After about ten days, it is removed from the vats and, kept warm, malolactic fermentation takes place to ensure natural deacidification. It stands for about six months in steel tanks to maintain the fragrance of the aromas of blackberry and raspberry which are typical of the Teroldego.
Ageing
Bottled in summer and, after a short standing period, it is ready to be sold
Comment
Teroldego Rotaliano, in Italian "Oro del Tirolo", from a probable interpretation of the idiom "Tiroler Gold". The rulers of Austria, during their reign in Trentino in fact, considered this wine to be excellent, for both its intense, deep colour, with the aroma of raspberry and blackberry and its full, round flavour, with just the right level of tartness and tannin-free: as the name says, Tiroler Gold.
