This wine represents the perfect union between the most important and well-known red grape varieties of Trentino: Teroldego (50%) and Lagrein (50%). PRODUCTION AREA Teroldego found its perfect terroir in the Piana Rotaliana area: this soil, for its unique geological and climate characteristics, gives the "prince of Trentino" all the elements to obtain a well-structured and rich wine. Lagrein has found its ideal environment along the hills above Adige river, where rocky and draining soil gives a fragrant and juicy wine with a delicate structure, which reduces the evident tannins of Teroldego.The traditional growing system of these varieties is called “pergola", "simple" for Lagrein and "double" for Teroldego, and gives excellent exposure of the grapes, a great aromatic ripening without risk of burns for the berries. VINIFICATION Teroldego grapes are vinified according to the classic red vinification process, at a temperature of 26°C for 12-13 days with selected yeasts.Lagrein grapes ferment at 24°C for 8 days with addition of selected yeasts.The half part of the final wine ages for 6 months in 3 years aged and lightly toasted French oak barrels, in order to respect its rich fruitiness.It is then needed another 12 months of aging in steel and bottle. CHARACTERISTICS Nerofino combines all the aromatic richness of two noble and important varietals of the Dolomites.Teroldego gives its impressive fruitiness with hints of currant, blackberry and blueberry, and its fullbodied structure. Lagrein gives juicy and soft notes, completing the flavor profile with hints of cocoa and red jam.
