Endrizzi Masetto Privé Riserva - 2010 - Trento DOC

75 cl

Alcohol content: 13% vol.

Grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

Vinification:

The perfectly ripe and healthy grapes are carefully unloaded directly into the pneumatic wine press and the resulting must is pressed partly in small French oak and Hungarian acacia barrels and partly in stainless steel. Batonnage takes place weekly until the end of December. The base wine matures in wooden barrels and in stainless steel until the end of June. Bottle fermentation lasts at least 84 months

Tasting note:

Fine, persistent perlage. Its bright golden yellow colour is the result of long bottle ageing. The aroma is rich, ethereal and extremely elegant. Aromas of light tobacco and bread crust mingle with nutmeg and apricot. On the palate it is very rich, soft, corpulent and interesting; long finish with hints of liquorice and rhubarb.

Cantina Endrizzi:

Cantina Endrizzi is one of the oldest wineries in Trentino. Winegrowers in the fifth generation, the Endrici family ("Endrizzi" in the local dialect) has always remained true to one principle: the entrepreneurial spirit. Each new generation has succeeded in developing Cantina Endrizzi further and further. Francesco and Angelo, the founders of the winery, introduced the Cabernet and Merlot grape varieties to Trentino. Today, they form the basis for the Masetto wine as well as for the traditional Teroldego and Lagrein wines.

Francesco's successors were his son Romano, who even served as president of the province of Trento, and his grandson Franco, at the time an influential chairman of the Trentino winegrowing committee, the Comitato Vitivinicolo Trentino. Today, the winery is run by the fourth and fifth generations, Paolo and Christine and their daughter Lisa Maria and son Daniele. With experience and new ideas, they take care of every aspect of the winery: renewal of the product, communication and marketing, architecture and environmentally conscious cultivation.
