{"title":"Trentino-Alto Adige","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrentino-Alto Adige is Italy's northernmost wine region, a place where alpine air and German-speaking tradition meet the Italian table.

Red grape varieties are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness, then gently pressed to obtain clear must without extracting color. Fermentation of the base wine takes place in temperature-controlled conditions, after which the wine undergoes a traditional second fermentation in bottle (Metodo Classico). An extended period of aging on the lees enhances texture, complexity and fine bubbles, before riddling, disgorgement and an Extra Brut dosage that keeps the final wine dry and incisive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Extra Brut Blanc de Rouge is a versatile gastronomic sparkling, ideal as an aperitif yet structured enough to accompany a full meal. Pair it with oysters, crudo, sashimi, or delicate shellfish, as well as trout, char or other freshwater fish from alpine lakes. It also works beautifully with light vegetable tempura, goat cheese, speck and other cured meats, and refined poultry dishes. Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F). A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or in a decanter designed for sparkling wines can help the aromas open, but extended decanting is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHartmann Donà is a highly respected, quality-driven producer based in Alto Adige, known for crafting characterful, terroir-expressive wines that highlight the region’s steep slopes and cool mountain climate.
