A vintage of extraordinary structure, a fascinating synthesis of innovation and tradition. It is the natural complement to the house's collection of labels: an elegance to which the wooden elevation confers an intriguing richness and harmonic complexity. In the reducing crystal of the flute, the vintage Chardonnay grapes, which have become gold in the sun of the clives, elegantly chase each other in a joyful dance of perfumes, softly caressed by yeasts for many years and made intriguing by the rigor of the wood.
Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore Rosè 2009 is the fourth vintage released on the market of this special Riserva, already an icon of Italian rosé bubbles. The "pink" version of the legendary Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore shares the elegance and finesse given by the aging of over ten years on the lees, adding the character of the mountain Pinot Noir, which transforms Giulio Ferrari Rosé into a Trentodoc seductive, a perfect synthesis of the two grape varieties that symbolize Trentino viticulture.

The bouquet is complex, the color is straw yellow, we recommend it in combination with foods with a delicate flavor.
A “pure” Chardonnay, just like its name.
Of all the red grape varieties in the world, Pinot Noir is considered the most noble and elegant and at the same time the most difficult to interpret, the one that places the winemaker and the consumer in the face of perhaps the most complex tasting. The term Pinot derives from the French and translated literally means "pine cone", a name attributed due to the shape of the bunch of this grape, with very attached berries and an elongated shape, typical of pine cones.
It has gold in its name - Gold - and the powerful charge of a modern wine - Traminer - decidedly "irreverent", because it is the fruit of an absolutely innovative vine, obtained from the crossing of Traminer vine flowers with those of Tuscan Trebbiano. A new variety created in the mid-1950s by Rebo Rigotti, geneticist from Trentino, one of the most brilliant international viticultural researchers. Precious vines, rare precisely because they are destined for targeted harvests and an equally particular wine. Like the one that ripens on the basaltic slope of Reviano, the sunny side of the Destra Adige, above Isera (Trento). The care in cultivation and vinification is maximum in order to offer an absolutely original, curious and yet intriguing wine. Gold in its sunny, brilliant color, with almost iridescent luminous reflections. The nose will win you over for the amalgam of fragrances embellished with a myriad of floral notes that recall candied fruit, acacia, citrus of mandarin and elder flowers, which surround the cultivation area in a fragrant embrace. On the palate it comes with fresh vigor, without neglecting the elegance of velvet, recalling round flavors of quince and crunchy apricots, with a never cloying sweetness and a decidedly rare gustatory persistence.
Holunder - a Goldtraminer that stands out for its versatility: to be enjoyed while still young - for immediate sensations - or to be rediscovered after some proper aging in the cellar, for unforgettable pleasures.

Chardonnay is one of the international grape varieties that best adapts to the environmental and climatic characteristics of Alto Adige. Here it manages to express all its aromatic potential. The particular location of the vineyards, between 200 and 500 meters above sea level, gives this wine a wide range of scents and aromas and the strong temperature range allows the wonderful acidity and freshness to be preserved. The grapes are harvested by hand around mid-September and subjected to traditional vinification with brief contact on the skins to increase the extraction of the varietal aromas characteristic of the grape. Subsequently the must is subjected to fermentation at low temperature

Second limited edition for Rotari 40. It is a special, unique product, dosed with a liqueur d'expédition made according to the Cellar's ancient recipe. A Blanc de Blancs, that is to say a 100% Classic Method, obtained with the best Chardonnay grapes selected in our hillside vineyards north of Trento. In fact, here we find unique climatic conditions: the calcareous soil of dolomitic origin, the average altitude of about 400 meters slm and the excellent exposure to the sun. The vineyards are also caressed by a refreshing alpine breeze which allows the natural preservation of the crunchiness and aromatic intensity of the grapes. Thanks to the combination of all these factors, Rotari 40 releases unique organoleptic characteristics and intense aromas. The 2013 vintage was excellent. It was the latest vintage in the last 20 years, allowing the grapes to ripen in late September: the temperature range gave the grapes freshness and crunchiness, giving a particular liveliness to the sparkling bases, all to the advantage of the longevity of the product.
It is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, rigorously harvested and selected by hand. The first fermentation, which takes place partly in steel and partly in barrique, is followed by 5 months refinement in the same containers and second fermentation, by refermentation in the bottle, with a full 5 years refinement on its own yeasts.
The production area chosen for the Chardonnay Musivum is located in Alto Adige and includes various locations: mainly in the municipality of Salorno, Magrè and Egna. The characteristics of the area, inclined to maintain high acid content, are ideal for the cultivation of Chardonnay which manages to reach high sugar levels. Another peculiarity of this area, ideal for growing grapes, is the microclimate characterized by good wind – which avoids dangerous stagnation of humidity and guarantees rapid drying of the grapes after the rains – and by an insolation throughout the day. Production begins with a slightly delayed manual harvest to enhance the aromatic richness of this variety. In the Cellar, the individual containers are distinguished on the basis of the characteristics of the grapes, so as to diversify the vinification process. All the grapes are cooled in the cell at 2-3°C. The following days those with a yellow/golden color are removed from the stalks and left to rest in the press for 4/5 hours in contact with the skins (cryomaceration) to increase the extraction of the aromatic precursors of this variety. The yellow/green colored grapes are instead de-stemmed and immediately subjected to soft pressing. From both portions a free-run must is obtained which is followed by natural decanting. The start of fermentation takes place in special stainless steel tanks, specially designed for the " Musivum " project, with selected yeasts and with a progressive and controlled increase in temperature from 14° to 18°C. Once fermentation has started, 65% of the volume continues its journey in the new barrique cellar: 50% in second passage oak barrels, where it remains for the refinement phase and the other 15% is aged in new French oak barriques at medium roast. The remaining 35% completes the fermentation in steel. During the refinement the 3 portions are kept separate, with frequent movements of the fine lees, up to 2 months before bottling, when they are brought together to amalgamate the different components, i.e. those fermented and aged in the various woods with the one fermented and aged in steel .
The vineyards selected for the production of Gewürztraminer Musivum were chosen within the most suitable areas in Trentino for the cultivation of this variety: the hills surrounding the villages of Faedo, Sorni and Pressano at an altitude of 300 -500 meters above sea level sea level. The origin of the variety is still controversial: to date, the two main wine-growing regions where it is grown – Alsace and Trentino-Alto Adige-Südtirol – dispute its paternity. The presence of a town named "Tramin" - "Termeno" in Trentino-Alto Adige strengthens the hypothesis that the homeland of this extraordinary vine is precisely our region. In German, the term “Gewürz” means “spicy”, as evidence of the particular aromaticity of this coppery berried grape which makes it unique and difficult to imitate. From a viticultural point of view, its cultivation represents a challenge to always keep its quality level very high. For this reason it is grown only in areas that enhance its particular characteristics, i.e. hills that are well exposed, but not too hot and with a marked temperature range, therefore located at a significant altitude to favor the generation of typical aromas and their precursors. The variety also requires a particular dedication in terms of hours of work in the vineyard. The harvest takes place in the second half of September: the period varies according to the altitude and exposure of the vineyard. To allow the formation of the typical aromas of Gewürztraminer, the grapes tend to be slightly over-ripened: the 2018 vintage allows the harvesting of perfectly ripe grapes, still fragrant and with exceptional aromas. The grapes harvested in perforated containers are partly sent immediately for crushing and partly cooled in refrigerate.Prima cells. Before pressing, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and cooled, then cryomaceration (or cold maceration) takes place in order to prolong the contact of the must with the skin where the typical aromas are located; the low temperature makes it possible to extract the most valuable aromas and substances while minimizing the extraction of tannins which can give astringency and bitter sensations. Fermentation begins at a low temperature to further enhance the aromaticity of the varietal, continues and ends slowly at a controlled temperature of 18°C. For this variety it is essential to use particular yeasts, carefully selected, which are able to enhance the richness and aromatic complexity natural. At the end of fermentation, the wine remains in contact with its yeasts which release new aromas and protect it from oxidation, until bottling.
Elegant 6-bottle wooden case that contains a tasting of the entire Musivum line. 4 wines that are the most authentic expression of the charm of the Trentino area and of the age-old art of making wine: n°1 bottle of PINOT GRIGIO TRENTINO DOC SUPERIORE: complex, fragrant and persistent wine that seduces with a fusion of white fruit aromas perfectly ripe, such as pear and white peach, integrated into notes of sun-dried citrus, chamomile, Swiss pine and rhododendron honey. n° 1 bottle of MULLER THURGAU TRENTINO DOC SUPERIORE CEMBRA which enchants with its haymaking bouquet of alpine aromatic herbs such as thyme, sage and wild mint, completed by white flowers and clover. n° 1 bottle of CHARDONNAY ALTO ADIGE DOC: rich, powerful and ample wine that releases intriguing floral scents of linden honey and acacia, with nuances of ginger mustard. n° 1 bottle of GEWURZTRAMINER TRENTINO DOC SUPERIORE: intriguing wine, with its palette of perfumes, all intense as notes of rose petal, spicy white flowers and ripe yellow fruit, enriched by hints of aromatic spices. n1 Marzemino Trentino Superiore DOC - n1 Teroldego Rotaliano Superiore Riserva DOC.
The Müller Thurgau Musivum grapes come from two different Cembran areas characterized by optimal exposure and altitude. The two vineyards are harvested separately, a few days later than the average ripening. The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve their freshness thanks to the low temperatures; the harvest is carried out rigorously by hand, selecting the individual bunches in the field. The conferment takes place in perforated containers and the bunches are kept in a cold room for one night, in order to enhance and transfer the aromas present on the peel to the future must. For the same purpose, they are subjected to cryomaceration in the press for 4-5 hours at a temperature below 10°C. With a special pressing program, oxidation of the extracted must is avoided. This must is left in the tank for several days (cold housing), with periodic suspension of the lees, so that the fibers and solid particles from the skins and pulp can still release their aromatic components to the must. Once the flotation has been carried out to remove these particles, the musts are inoculated with different yeasts between the two batches, and in any case aromatically neutral - so as to best respect the primary aromas of the vine - and fermented at about 17°C until complete consumption of the sugars. The two cuvées are then aged for three months separately and then, once combined, the wine is aged for another year on the fine lees, always in small steel tanks. After bottling, there is an aging period of at least six months in the bottle.
