WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rotari Brut Riserva is produced using the Metodo Classico, the traditional method for sparkling wine. This involves a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle to create effervescence. The wine then undergoes extended aging on its lees for a minimum of 24 months, contributing to its complexity and texture. Grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards situated on sunny hillsides in Trentino. The winemaking approach prioritizes the strict quality standards of the Trentodoc appellation and aims to express the characteristics of the region.
