The Dolomites and Trentodoc

Trentodoc, the Metodo Classico from the mountains, will be the central focus of an exclusive winetasting to be held during the 45th edition of Vinitaly, on Thursday 7 April at 5 pm in the Palaexpo building (first floor, Sala C, entrance A2). Marco Sabellico from Gambero Rosso will be leading the discussion, kindly assisted by Ruben Larentis, Gambero Rosso winemaker of the year and Fausto Peratoner, Chairman of the TRENTO DOC Institute. Fabio Piccoli will be moderating.

The meeting is entitled "Dolomiti e Trentodoc: nella verticalità l'elemento originario" (The Dolomites and Trentodoc: verticality reveals the original element). Marco Sabellico, Gambero Rosso's accomplished sparkling wine expert, Ruben Larentis, winemaker of the year and Fausto Peratoner, Chairman of the TRENTO DOC Institute, (Fabio Piccoli will be leading the discussion) will be helping participants find out how and to what extent the Dolomites influence the production of Trentodoc through a compelling adventure in the form of an exclusive winetasting. In Trentino, grapes of extremely high quality, harvested up to a height of 800 metres above sea level, are vital to the production of this high-class, crisp, elegant, fragrant wine.

On this occasion, the focus will be on 6 champions of excellence and typicity. Trentodoc, the most intriguing product to come out of Trentino winemaking, is gaining ever-greater prestige on the Italian market due to the efforts of the 34 Trentodoc producers and 70 labels.

Because of the climate and the particular formation of the land in Trentino, the grapes grown here are particularly well suited to the production of Metodo Classico. But Trentino was also the first place in the world to be assigned D.O.C. status, after Champagne. It is therefore the place where man and nature have successfully joined forces to create excellence.

Another event you cannot afford to miss has also been scheduled for Thursday afternoon, 7 April. From 3 pm onwards the Trentino stand will be decked out in black and white to welcome two footballers from Juventus FC, who will be coming to meet the press, celebrities and fans before joining in a toast with the Metodo Classico from the mountains, selected by Juventus as their official toasting wine.
