Trento DOC Rose Brut

Monfort's Trento DOC Rosé Brut originates from vineyards in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy, where limestone-rich soils and cool alpine elevation (600–800m) create conditions favoring high-acidity, mineral-driven sparkling wines. The house employs méthode champenoise: hand-harvested fruit undergoes brief skin contact to achieve the wine's characteristic pale salmon color, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle with extended lees aging (minimum 18 months on the tirage) before disgorgement. This extended contact with spent yeast develops brioche and almond complexity while preserving the delicate red-fruit aromatics typical of Trentino rosé. The Brut dosage (residual sugar <12 g/L) allows the wine's natural acidity and mineral backbone to dominate. Drink 2024–2028.
