"Om De Fer" Brut Blanc de Blancs è un grande metodo classico prodotto dalla famiglia Dorigati col desiderio di creare uno spumante di alta qualità partendo dalla cuvèe di tiraggio, con l’intento di abbinare all’evoluzione e alla complessità tipiche del metodo classico, la grande freschezza delle bollicine trentine. Per questo il 30% delle uve vengono vendemmiate quando hanno raggiunto una maggiore maturazione in confronto a quelle raccolte per produrre la classica base spumante, questo apporta volume e complessità. Vengono poi utilizzate botti vecchie, ciò aiuta lo Chardonnay ad avere la fase ossidativa prima della presa di spuma, mentre per aumentare la complessità olfattiva vengono mischiate con piccole partite di Chardonnay di precedenti raccolte. I vigneti sono coltivati sulle colline pedemontane ghiaiose calcaree di Mezzocorona, colline Avisiane Trentino Alto Adige, ad una altitudine di 200-500 m s.l.m. I vitigni sono allevati a pergola trentina semplice e la vendemmia viene effettuata manualmente nella prima decade di Settembre. La vinificazione prevede una pressatura soffice con frazionamento dei mosti, fermentazione in barrique per un quarto della massa, con affinamento in acciaio inox e barrique vecchie prima del tiraggio; infine avviene un periodo di circa 24 mesi di affinamento sui lieviti. Nel calice sfoggia una bellissima veste di colore giallo paglierino, con perlage fine e persistente. Il profumo si rivela particolarmente intenso e complesso, lievemente agrumato, con sentori di mela cotta e dolci di pasticceria. La spuma è molto avvolgente e fine. In bocca risulta estremamente morbido, merito di una buona struttura ed equilibrio acidico. Estremamente fresco nella beva. Questo è l’OM DE FER: un metodo classico nato per dare gioia e piacere!

Il Trento Doc Methius è prodotto solo nella tipologia riserva, a sottolineare la qualità eccelsa di questo prodotto e la sua unicità. La cantina d’invecchiamento, ubicata a Mezzocorona (Trentino), risale ai primi del 1900, è completamente interrata e costruita con i “volti a botte” quasi tutti in pietra squadrata. Qui le bottiglie di Methius sostano per 60 mesi, a temperatura e umidità pressoché costanti tutto l’anno. Il nome “Methius” deriva dalla ricerca di un toponimo locale che accomuna l’origine del prodotto aziendale al territorio di nascita. L’etimo del nome scelto si perde nella storia. Si sa che già nel 1150 (Principe Vescovo e Mainardo II conte di Tirolo) il nome delle due borgate site nella “Piana Rotaliana” erano: Methius Coronae (oggi Mezzocorona) e Methius Sancti Petri (oggi Mezzolombardo) ove il radicale comune “Methius” deriva dal celtico e latino volgare.

Il Sapore: grazie alla presenza del Rebo l’entrata in bocca è molto gentile, nella parte centrale del palato denota grande pienezza e struttura, proveniente dal tannino del Cabernet Sauvignon; infine chiude con grande freschezza e succosità, data dalla percentuale del più fresco Teroldego.
