Revi Trento Rosè Extra Brut Riserva Cavaliere Nero 2017

Revi' Trentodoc Cavaliere Nero Rosé Extra Brut Riserva 2017 is a refined traditional-method sparkling wine that showcases the pure character of Pinot Nero grown high in the Trentino mountains. Crafted with patience and precision, it offers a dry, elegant profile with vibrant freshness and fine, persistent bubbles. This Riserva bottling represents the pinnacle of Revi’s rosé production, made only in the best vintages and aged extensively on the lees for added depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Trentodoc Rosé shows a delicate, shimmering onion-skin to pale salmon hue, with a very fine and persistent perlage that forms a soft, continuous bead. The nose is refined and expressive, opening with wild strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate, followed by notes of pink grapefruit, blood orange zest, rose petals and a subtle hint of brioche and toasted hazelnut from its extended lees aging. On the palate, Cavaliere Nero Rosé Extra Brut Riserva 2017 is taut, dry and precise, with a chalky, mineral backbone that is very typical of Trentino’s mountain terroir. Red berry fruit and citrus are wrapped in a creamy mousse, balanced by vibrant acidity and a clean, saline finish. The Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine focused and gastronomic, making it more about finesse than sweetness. With its structure and freshness, this 2017 vintage has several more years of positive evolution ahead; it can be enjoyed now for its energy and detail, or cellared for 5–7 years to gain further complexity and tertiary notes.

Production
Cavaliere Nero is sourced primarily from high-altitude Pinot Nero vineyards in Trentino, where the combination of Alpine climate, big day–night temperature swings and well-drained, mineral-rich soils yields grapes with intense aromatics and natural acidity. Revi’ works with a strong respect for the terroir and the raw material, harvesting Pinot Nero by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve delicate aromatics and structural tension. After a gentle pressing of whole clusters, only the best must is selected for the base wine, which is fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to protect freshness. The second fermentation takes place in bottle according to the traditional method (metodo classico/Trentodoc), followed by an extended period of aging on the lees—often several years—to build texture, complexity and the fine, creamy effervescence that defines this Riserva. Disgorgement is followed by a very low Extra Brut dosage, allowing the purity of the fruit and the mountain terroir to shine through.

Food & Serving
This sophisticated rosé Trentodoc is an excellent partner for refined appetizers and seafood: think tuna tartare, salmon sashimi, seared scallops, or prawns with citrus and herbs. It also pairs beautifully with charcuterie, prosciutto crudo, poultry dishes, mushroom risotto and soft to semi-hard cheeses such as Taleggio or young Asiago. Serve well chilled at 8–10 °C (46–50 °F) to highlight its finesse and minerality. A brief decanting is not required, but pouring the wine into larger tulip-shaped sparkling wine glasses and giving it a few minutes in the glass will help the Pinot Nero aromatics fully unfold.
