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

Brand: Musivum

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.

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.

The production area of Pinot Grigio Musivum Vicinia is in the municipality of Mezzocorona. The area was first cultivated with vines in the 1950s. The soils therefore have a limited cultivation area and a rather superficial groundwater between 50 and 100 cm, and the soil type is silty. They have a sufficient supply of water even in periods of drought and good fertility, essential characteristics for Pinot Grigio, a rather weak variety. Furthermore, Vicinia is a very precocious area, as it leans against imposing rock walls which guarantee protection from cold winds in the late winter and early spring periods and have a warming effect during all the vegetative phases, reflecting the sun's heat. The production starts with a slightly delayed harvest to enhance the varietal characteristics and aromatic richness. The grapes are harvested manually in the early hours of the day to preserve their freshness thanks to the low temperature, with the selection of each individual bunch in the field; they are then transported to the cellar in perforated containers to guarantee the best fragrance and integrity of the bunches. In the Cellar the grapes are subjected to soft pressing to obtain a flower must which is followed by natural decanting. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 18°C in special stainless steel tanks specially designed for Musivum . 50 %del volume completes the last third of the fermentation in the barrique cellar, in 50 hl second passage oak barrels, where it also remains for the refinement phase. The other half, on the other hand, completes the fermentation in steel, where it continues with the refinement phase on the lees. During the refinement, the fine lees consisting mainly of yeasts are put back into suspension every 15 days for the first 3 months and every 2 months thereafter , until the time of re-assembly of the two portions, i.e. the fraction partially fermented and aged in wood with the one fermented and aged in steel

The Pinot Grigio variety has been cultivated for a long time in the Adige Valley, where it is also known under the name of Ruländer. The shape of the bunches and their "copper gray" color reveal its close relationship with the Pinot Noir from which it seems to derive. It prefers soils with moderate fertility both on the valley floor and on low hills. Pinot Grigio RISERVA comes from grapes grown in the vineyards of one of the most classic and suitable areas for this variety: called "Zablani", it is located north-east of the town of Mezzocorona and is characterized by well-drained alluvial soil, very similar to that of the adjacent classic area of Teroldego. The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered within a few hours to the cellar, where they are selected, immediately pressed and sent to the cold maceration and soft pressing stage. The alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature (16-18° C) can last between 12 and 15 days. More precisely, part of the Pinot Grigio is fermented in steel (40%) while the remaining 60% is fermented in barrique. After fermentation, the wine remains in barriques for 6-8 months, during which periodic "batonage" operations are performed (resuspension of the yeast deposits). Between the 10th and 11th month, the wine fermented in steel and the wine fermented in wood are assembled, thus obtaining a product with the typical notes of vanilla and ripeness, but also with the freshness and fragrance typical of Pinot Trentino grey.

The Chardonnay Riserva comes from a selection of the best vineyards grown on the slopes of the Trentino mountains between 250 and 500 m above sea level. The preferred soils are of alluvial and draining origin. The grapes are harvested well ripe and characterized by a golden yellow colour, an indication of high aromatic richness. The skilful blending of wines obtained from vineyards located at various altitudes and with different exposures results in a wine that is ripe and rich but also fresh and fragrant. The grapes are harvested in September, partly subjected to cold maceration to increase the extraction of aromas and subsequently subjected to soft pressing. The must is fermented with the addition of selected yeasts, half in steel and half in lightly toasted French oak. The wines mature for 8 months in wood and 4 months in steel. The part that ages in barrique also carries out the malolactic fermentation and repeated batonage (resuspension of the fermentation yeasts) is carried out. Finally, 3-4 months of aging in the bottle follow.

The Moscato Rosa vine is a very ancient vine, of probable Greek origins which, passing through Sicily, arrived in Trentino in the mid-nineteenth century. The name seems to derive more from the primary aroma of rose that characterizes this aromatic vine, than from the color of the berry, which is actually bluish-black. Moscato Rosa is very delicate to cultivate as it is subject to various problems in flowering and ripening which greatly reduce its production capacity. For all these reasons, as well as being noble, it is also a precious wine, also due to its great ability to accumulate large quantities of sugar. This wine is obtained from small vineyards located on the alluvial fan of the town of Pressano, north of Trento, at about 250-300 metres, facing south-southwest on clayey-limestone soils and in a well-ventilated area to avoid health problems and allow the grapes the achievement of a perfect level of aromatic and sugar ripening. The grapes are harvested by hand very late after a natural drying on the vine and, after destemming, are subjected to traditional vinification with the addition of selected yeasts at a temperature of 22-24°C for 6-8 days. Then with the use of cold (5°C), the fermentation process is naturally blocked with the consequent maintenance of the desired residual sugar. It then continues with the collection of only flower wine without pressing of the pomace. This is followed by conservation in steel for a few months, always at a low temperature to preserve the aromas of this elegant wine

This wine comes from a perfect marriage between the two most important and renowned red grape varieties of Trentino: Teroldego (50%) and Lagrein (50%). Teroldego found its cradle in Piana Rotaliana which, due to its geological and climatic uniqueness, gives the "prince of Trentino" all the essential characteristics to obtain a wine with ripe fruitiness and powerful structure. Lagrein found its way along the hills above the Adige river where, benefiting from rockier and well-draining soils, it expresses itself with a fragrant aromatic profile and a delicate body that tames the tannic vehemence of Teroldego. The historical form of cultivation of these two Trentino vines called "pergola", in its "simple" form for the Lagrein and in the "double" form for the Teroldego, favors excellent exposure of the bunches to the sun guaranteeing excellent ripening without risk of burns of the grapes. The Teroldego grapes are vinified according to the classic red winemaking technique, at a temperature of 26°C for 12-13 days with the addition of selected yeasts. The Lagrein grapes are instead fermented at a temperature of 24°C for 8 days with the addition of selected yeasts. Then half aliquot of the two wines ages for 6 months in French oak barriques with a 3-year seasoning and light toasting, in order to respect their rich fruitiness. Another 12 months of aging between steel and bottle are then required.

Autochthonous vine of Trentino Alto Adige, it has been cultivated in the Dolomite mountains since the fifteenth century where it has adapted perfectly. Over the centuries this vine has given rise to two different biotypes due to the different shape and size of the bunch: short bunch Lagrein and long bunch Lagrein. From the selection of the best short-cluster Lagrein vineyards grown along the Adige river valley, we produce this rich and powerful red. The Lagrein vineyards are grown on the hills at an altitude of 200-400m along the Adige river valley using only simple pergolas: this guarantees excellent exposure of the bunches to the sun, guaranteeing excellent aromatic and polyphenolic ripening without the risk of burning the grapes. When the grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested and selected by hand around the second week of October. The grapes are vinified according to the classic red winemaking technique, at a temperature of 26°C for 12-13 days with the addition of selected yeasts. Maturation in wood follows for 10 months in French oak barriques with 3-year aging and light toasting. Finally, another 12 months of aging between steel and bottle are required.

The Teroldego vine is a native variety of Trentino and finds its ideal development environment in the Piana Rotaliana. The word "Teroldego" seems to derive from "Tiroler Gold" (gold of Tyrol), the name by which this wine was indicated at the Court of Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian empire; from this denomination “Tiroldico” would later derive and later, Teroldego. Among the Trentino red wines it is the most renowned, so much so that it is defined as the "prince wine of Trentino". The Riserva di Teroldego is produced only in great vintages from carefully selected grapes by hand in the most suitable areas of the Piana Rotaliana: "Fron", "Rauti", "Camorzi" and "Sottodossi". The grapes are pressed with separation of the stems. The seeds are partially removed, followed by maceration on the skins with frequent pumping over and fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 25°C for 12-13 days. Minimum 24 months of maturation, of which 12 in precious oak wood (Allier and Troncais) followed by refinement in the bottle.
