Letrari 976 Riserva Fondatore DOC.This sparkling, only produced in the best vintage years, is obtained by the vinification of Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes, re-fermented in the bottle following the classic method and lied on the lees for at least 96 months, in other words the so-called Dégorgement Tardif (disgorgement spread over time) making it possible to obtain, trough a long and continuous lysis of the yeasts, a sparkling of considerable complexity, boldness and elegance.
Wine type: sparkling.
Alcohol content: 12,5°
Region: Trentino Alto Adige, Rovereto, Borghetto all' Adige e Nogaredo - Italy.
Grape/Blend: Chardonnay and Pinot nero.
Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves.The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection.
Colour: is golden and slightly dark, sparkling and lively.
Aroma: on the nose it offers an array of fragrances ranging from bread crust to vanilla tones, over a base of creamy ripe apples and dried fruit
Tasting notes: the palate is full and rounded overall, in which notes of mature fruit are found, re-proposed over an underlying flavour of citrus fruits and spices. A fresh and lively wine, but also full and of solid structure, with an extremely persistent finish, just like its extremely fine perlage.
Serving suggestions: for drinking as the complete accompaniment to an important lunch, or simply to toast a special occasion.
Please note that it is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
Editor's note: The Letrari winery has 23 hectares of vineyards located in various areas around Vallagrina. Its headquarters are in the modern winery at Borgo Sacco in Rovereto - Region Trentino Alto Adige - Italy.
