Two Italian Sparkling’s you will want to invite to your next party.

Altemasi Trentodoc Brut

This is produced from 100% Chardonnay and sourced from the best vineyards on the hilltops around Trento DOC- located between 450 and 600 meters above sea level. This area is known for producing some of the best sparkling outside of Champagne. It is also second in the world, to Champagne, as an established appellation to ensure both quality and distinction in ‘sparkling’ production.

A lovely straw yellow color sparkles from the glass drawing you in.

The nose exudes aromas of apples, and crusty bread entice you to take a sip.

The palate consists of fine bubbles, and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel that is both pleasing and focused. Lovely notes of Brioche and crusty bread give way to apples, pear, and a hint of honey melon and Meyer lemon rind. Depth and complexity you would not expect at this price point. Quality at a budget price point.

Altemasi Trentodoc Rosé

This is produced from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, again from the best vineyards on the hilltops. The Chardonnay and Pinot work hand in hand blending to create a Rosé that is both totally enjoyable that will not break the bank.

The color sits somewhere between pink and orange with fruity aromas of cherries and strawberries.

The palate, like the brut, consists of fine bubbles, and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel that will make you smile from the first sip. Enticing notes of cherries and strawberries with hints of dark fruits, citrus and yeasty fresh bread displaying impressive balance with a richness you would not expect to find at this price point. Same depth and complexity as the Brut with excellent length on the finish.
