Neno 992 Talento Brut 276 mesi

Simple Trentino pergola training system, planted in the early 1980s. Soil composed of glacial deposits with sub-rounded polygenic pebbles in an abundant reddish silt-clay matrix. The Pinot Noir is harvested by hand at its peak ripeness. The Chardonnay is hand-picked from a single vineyard in the locality of ‘Costiöla’ at Mosana di Giovo in Valle di Cembra. The vineyard has a planting layout (200 cm x 50 cm) that allows a density of no less than 10,000 vines per hectare, following the example of Champagne vineyards. Soft pressing of the whole bunches at a temperature below 15°C with a maximum must yield of 55% vol/weight for the Chardonnay and 45% vol/weight for the Pinot Noir. Maturation of the sparkling wine base in stainless steel. Maturation sur lies for a very long time, in the cellar dug out of porphyry beneath the family home in Mosana di Giovo, bottles buried in porphyry sand. Time plays a key role in the evolution of this special sparkling wine and each bottle has its own different complexity.

Deep yellow colour with amber highlights. The nose evokes scents of passito wines and aged great whites, with hints of ripe fruit and flint, bread crust, liquorice and ginger. The palate is very fresh and lively, with toasty, almost peaty notes of oak and tobacco. Very long and complex aftertaste, leaving a sensation of freshness.

Fish hors d'oeuvres and beef tartare, cured meats and savoury cold cuts, white meat ragouts and shellfish in sauce.
