    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    From vineyards planted on the gravel embankments of the Noce River, which flows through the Rotaliana plain, north of the city of Trento.

    Rich, intense purple with violet reflections

    Assertive bouquet that recalls fresh raspberries and woodland fruits

    Dry, full-bodied and austere in youth, becoming increasingly mellow with age; balanced tannins, long, persistent finish

    A very food-friendly red wine. Terrific with red meats served with polenta, grilled meats, hearty stews and casseroles.

    Grape Varieties: 100% Teroldego

    Bottega Vinaia, an exceptional limited production "Cru" varietal wine from nothern Italy, marks a new direction for Trentino-based Cavit, one of the most respected and successful wine producers in Italy. As a result of its long standing affiliation with many thousands of growers throughout northern Italy, Cavit's ability to first pinpoint then access a handful of vineyards that consistently produce outstanding quality grapes is literally second to none. From this unique position stems Cavit's resolve to showcase the wines of these extraordinary vineyards under the new and separate Bottega Vinaia label.

    Unique to the Trentino region of NE Italy, Teroldego produces a deeply purple-hued wine with an assertive black fruit character and intriguing aromatics. The best quality Teroldego comes from the Campo Rotaliano, a sandy and gravelly plain between the tall mountains of the area. Somm Secret—Dating back to the 15th century in Rotaliano, Teroldego has created a well-connected anthology for itself. As a parent to Lagrein, a variety native to nearby Alto Adige, it is also closely related to Syrah.

    A mountainous northern Italian region heavily influenced by German culture, Trentino-Alto Adige is actually made up of two separate but similar regions: Alto Adige and Trentino.

    Trentino, the southern half, is primarily Italian-speaking and largely responsible for the production of non-native, international grapes. There is a significant quantity of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Merlot produced. But Trentino's native and most unique red variety, Teroldego, while still rare, is gaining popularity. It produces a deeply colored red wine rich in wild blackberry, herb, coffee and cocoa.

    The rugged terrain of German-speaking Alto Adige (also referred to as Südtirol) focuses on small-scale viticulture, with great value placed on local varieties—though international varieties have been widely planted since the 1800s. Sheltered by the Alps from harsh northerly winds, many of the best vineyards are at extreme altitude but on steep slopes to increase sunlight exposure.

    Dominant red varieties include the bold, herbaceous Lagrein and delicate, strawberry-kissed, Schiava, in addition to some Pinot Nero.

    The primary white grapes are Pinot grigio, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot blanc, as well as smaller plantings of Sauvignon blanc, Müller Thurgau. These tend to be bright and refreshing with crisp acidity and just the right amount of texture. Some of the highest quality Pinot grigio in Italy is made here.
