Cantina Toblino Trento Vent Extra Brut 2021

Cantina Toblino Trento Vent Extra Brut 2021 is a refined traditional-method sparkling wine from the cool Alpine valleys of Trentino.

This cuvée stands out for its crisp Extra Brut style, expressing the character of high-altitude vineyards with precision and finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the Trento Vent Extra Brut 2021 shows a pale straw-yellow hue with subtle green reflections and a persistent, fine mousse. The nose is vibrant and refined, with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers and pear, layered with gentle notes of fresh brioche, almond and a touch of wet stone minerality. On the palate, this is a dry, linear and focused sparkling wine with a taut backbone of acidity and a very clean, crystalline profile. Flavors of citrus, crunchy orchard fruit and a hint of white peach are wrapped in a delicate creaminess from the time spent on the lees, leading to a long, savory and mineral-driven finish. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine brisk and mouthwatering, making it both refreshing as an aperitif and structured enough to accompany food. Enjoyable now for its energy and freshness, it also has the capacity to evolve for several more years in bottle, gaining complexity and softer edges over 3–5 years.

Production
The grapes for Cantina Toblino Trento Vent Extra Brut 2021 are sourced from carefully selected Chardonnay vineyards in Trentino Alto Adige, where cool Alpine breezes, significant diurnal temperature swings and well-drained, mineral-rich soils foster slow, balanced ripening and intense aromatic development. Harvesting is typically carried out by hand to ensure only healthy, perfectly ripe bunches are brought to the cellar. After a gentle pressing, the base wine is fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity and freshness, with selected parcels potentially seeing short lees contact for added texture. The secondary fermentation takes place in bottle following the traditional method (Metodo Classico), and the wine then rests sur lie for an extended period to develop its fine bead and subtle pastry notes before disgorgement and a low Extra Brut dosage.

Food & Serving
This Trento Extra Brut pairs beautifully with a wide range of refined dishes. Its bright acidity and mineral core make it a natural match for oysters, crudo, sushi, and delicate seafood such as scallops, prawns and grilled sea bass. It also complements fresh goat’s cheese, soft-ripened cheeses, light vegetable tempura, risotto with spring vegetables, and simple poultry dishes like roast chicken with herbs. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its freshness and precision. A brief 10–15 minutes in the glass or in an open bottle is sufficient; extended decanting is not necessary for this style, though allowing it to warm slightly from fridge temperature will reveal additional complexity and creaminess.
