The wine is distinguished by its extended aging period on lees, a requirement for Trentodoc Riserva wines, which contributes to its complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Rotari Brut Riserva is produced using the Metodo Classico, or traditional method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes are hand-harvested from the vineyards of the Trentino region. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a minimum of 36 months of aging on its lees before being disgorged. This extended aging period is a key characteristic of this Riserva designation.
