De første faser af produktionen omfatter fermentation i stål, uden malolaktisk, og derefter en hvile på gæren i flasken i cirka 30 måneder. Direkte og duftende i næsen, til frugtagtige noter tilføjes interessante mineralnoter af flintsten og bagværksnoter i afslutningen. På ganen er den frisk og salt, markant mineralisk, en ægte bjergsparkling!
Trento Pas Dosé sparkling wine from Tenuta Maso Corno is a pure Chardonnay, a Blanc de Blanc, with a fruity and mineral aromatic profile. It is the first Trento DOC produced by Giulio Larcher, a young entrepreneur who in 2006 began the story of Tenuta Maso Corno after purchasing 5 hectares of vineyards located around an ancient farmhouse, on the slopes of the Lessini Mountains. In a short time, thanks to a production approach focused on quality, Giulio's wines have achieved international success, reaching important foreign markets such as the Japanese, Dutch, and Russian.
Tenuta Maso Corno Spumante Trento Pas Dosé originates from only Chardonnay grapes from vines about 30 years old, rooted in dolomitic-limestone soils at an altitude between 500 and 800 meters above sea level. The bunches, hand-picked and carefully selected, undergo a gentle pressing, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out, in order to preserve all the freshness of the sparkling base, which after a brief rest always in steel, it undergoes the sparkling process in the bottle according to the Classic Method. The aging on the lees lasts for at least 30 months, at the end of which the sparkling wine undergoes the disgorging operation and subsequent topping up with the same wine, without any dosage.
The Trento Pas Dosé Sparkling Wine from Tenuta Maso Corno has a straw yellow color with fine bubbles. On the nose, aromas of white-fleshed fruit, such as pear, are perceived, followed by mineral hints of flint and references to pastry and bread crust at the finish. On the palate, it is very fresh and savory, characteristics that give a vertical dimension to this sparkling wine, anticipating the fine and distinctly mineral finish.
