TRENTINO DOC (sweet wine) Grape variety: Nosiola is the only native white grape variety of Trentino, used to produce dry white wines and the sought after "Passito dei Passiti", or the Vino Santo Trentino DOC. Vineyards: from the most suitable vineyards in the Valle dei Laghi, where a very favorable microclimate meets the best exposed, dry and gravel-rich soils. Only a tenth of the vineyards in Nosiola are suitable for the production of the grapes used to produce the Vino Santo Trentino DOC. Natural drying: after the harvest, the ripest bunches of Nosiola are gently placed on traditional racks called arèle, which allow a slow drying that traditionally lasts until Holy Week, thanks to the constant wind that comes from the Brenta Dolomites and the "Ora del Garda", a breeze that blows lightly from Lake Garda through the Valle dei Laghi. The final touch is given by the presence of noble rot that develops inside the bunches, strengthening the drying process with a consequent increase in the sugar concentration that gives the grapes an unmistakable flavor. Vinification & Aging: the pressing traditionally takes place during Holy Week, after one of the longest drying in the world which lasts for almost 6 months, thus obtaining the precious must of the Vino Santo with almost infinitesimal yields. Subsequently, fermentation starts in small French oak barrels which lasts for over 2 years, gradually reducing the sugar concentration. The Vino Santo continues its long aging in the same small French oak barrels where it rests for over 10 years, ending its long maturation with over a year in the bottle. Harvest year: 2004 Organoleptic Characteristics: a bright amber color. On the nose, Vino Santo offers an extraordinarily complex and elegant fragrant bouquet, with hints of peach and overripe apricot, jams and honey. On the palate, it is pleasantly sweet and round, with great persistence and an important acidity that balances perfectly with the residual sugar to create a harmonious and never cloying combination. ​​​​​​​Tasting & Pairing: to be served preferably at a temperature of 8-10 ° C in small tulip glasses. Vino Santo is a meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to fully grasp every nuance. By contrast, it is able to enhance the noble taste of some moldy cheeses such as Gorgonzola, Stilton, Bleu d’Auvergne, Roquefort or Cavras, in which the molds of dairy products delicately harmonize with the wine created by noble rot . Try it with Foie Gras. It goes perfectly with traditional Trentino dry pastries, for example with fregolotti cake, strudel and biscuits. Vino Santo can age in the bottle for many decades, becoming one of the most durable wines, capable of offering great satisfaction and pleasantness even 50 years after the harvest.

LARGILLER - NOSIOLA SELEZIONE

VIGNETI DELLE DOLOMITI IGT Grape variety: Nosiola is the only native white grape variety of Trentino, used for the production of fine white wines. Vineyards: selection of the best grapes produced in the vineyard of the locality “Argiller”, one of the best crus for the production of Nosiola in the entire Valle dei Laghi. Vinification & Aging: the selection of the best Nosiola grapes allows for a soft pressing to slowly extract a high quality must followed by a light maceration on the skins. Immediately afterwards, fermentation begins in large oak barrels where the wine ages for over 6 years before bottling. Following a refinement in the bottle that lasts for a few months and almost 7 years after the harvest, the wine is finally ready to be marketed. For this reason, Largiller is produced only in the best vintages, when the quality of the grapes expresses its maximum potential. Harvest year: 2012 Organoleptic Characteristics: a deep straw yellow color with brilliant golden reflections. On the nose, the Largiller is very intense and complex: the slight fruity nuances reminiscent of grapefruit and green apple are accompanied by soft floral touches that recall the broom and the wild lime, leaving a delicate hint of hazelnut on the finish. On the palate, it has a balanced, broad, round structure with excellent persistence, ending very fine and elegant with hints of wood and minerals.​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​Tasting & Pairing: to appreciate the unique characteristics of this elegant and complex wine, taste it in large glasses at 10-12 °C in combination with all kinds of fish dishes, white meats or mushrooms, like the ones you may find when visiting Trentino and Valle dei Laghi.
