Its exceptionally fine, persistent bubbles, extended lees ageing and elegant alpine character make it a particularly distinguished expression of the region’s sparkling-wine tradition. Dorigati has been producing wine in the area since 1858.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it presents a bright straw-yellow colour with attractive golden reflections and an exceptionally persistent stream of fine bubbles. The bouquet is intense and complex, combining ripe-fruit aromas with delicate spicy nuances and subtle notes developed during its long maturation on the lees.\n\nOn the palate, the mousse is soft and enveloping, carrying a generous yet lively character. Ripe fruit, balanced freshness and a smooth, harmonious texture lead to a long, lingering finish. Its extended ageing gives it the structure and complexity to develop further in bottle, while it is already beautifully balanced and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes are sourced from hillside vineyards around Faedo and Pressano, at elevations of approximately 350–500 metres, where the alpine climate helps preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The vines are trained using the traditional Trentino pergola system, with short pruning and rigorous bunch thinning to reduce yields and concentrate flavour. The cuvée is produced using the traditional method, with a portion of the Chardonnay fermented in oak for added depth. Secondary fermentation takes place slowly at 11°C, followed by five years of ageing on the lees with periodic remuage. After riddling on pupitres, the wine is disgorged with the addition of expedition liqueur and given a further 6–8 months of bottle maturation before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at 6–8°C. Its fine mousse, ripe-fruit character and refreshing structure make it an excellent aperitif, while its depth allows it to accompany seafood, shellfish, sushi, delicate fish dishes and refined starters. It also pairs well with lightly seasoned poultry and creamy, soft-textured dishes. Decanting is not necessary; serve in quality sparkling-wine glasses to preserve the bubbles and reveal the wine’s aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1858, Dorigati is a long-established family winery rooted in the hills of Trentino.
