The vine-covered area in Trentino totals more than 10,230 hectares (2% in Italy) with a percentage of grapes for the sparkling base wine of 13.6% and more than 13 million bottles sold in 2022. The terrain and climate make Trentino a unique territory, one that is especially suited for producing Classic Method wines.
THE MOUNTAINS, A PRIMARY RESOURCE OF TRENTODOC
Trentodoc comes from vineyards grown between 200 and 800 meters (656 to 2,625 feet) above sea level, in an environment characterized by significant diurnal temperature variations, giving the grapes aromatic complexity, elegance, and acidity. In addition, the soils have excellent drainage and aeration, as they are rich in limestone and have a high amount of silica. This lends to great nuances in aroma. The high altitudes and mountains are a great resource for Trentodoc.
A UNIQUE AND FAVORABLE CLIMATE
The climate is Alpine, Continental, and Mediterranean: this variable Trentino climate contributes to defining the Trentodoc character, together with other unique aspects of the territory. The cool temperatures from the Dolomites combined with the mild temperature of nearby Lake Garda form distinct characteristics; and the significant diurnal temperature variations, typical of the Trentino territory, allow the grapes to develop acidity and great aromatic complexity.
IDENTITY CARD
Trentodoc possesses an I.D. card! Significant data emerged from research done by the Fondazione Mach (Edmund Mach Foundation) and the Ministry of Agriculture: if a classic method sparkling wine contains a consistent number of certain volatile compounds, generated from the diurnal temperature changes typical in mountain environments, it means that the wine is none other than a Trentodoc. The mountains have a true signature on the wines made from them.
Trentodoc is a prestigious sparkling wine because the territorial characteristics, varied climate, altitudes typical of Trentino and human hands that produce it help to make it different. It is a true sparkling wine from the mountains, one of the best sparkling wines in the world. We are not the ones to say this, but the awards our producers receive every year clearly show this.
