In the fascinating world of Italian wine, Trento DOC stands out as one of the most prestigious appellations for classic method sparkling wines. Altemasi is a brand that perfectly embodies this excellence, producing high-quality wines that reflect the tradition and innovation of Trentino viticulture. In this article, we will explore the history, values and products that make Altemasi a benchmark in the Italian wine scene.
The History of Altemasi
Altemasi was born in the heart of Trentino, a region famous for its towering mountains and breathtaking landscapes. Founded by Cavit, one of Italy’s leading wine cooperatives, Altemasi aims to create classic method sparkling wines that can compete with the best French Champagnes.
Since its beginnings, Altemasi has focused on quality, selecting the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from vineyards located in the best areas of Trentino. Through strict control of the production chain and the use of state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, Altemasi has succeeded in creating a range of sparkling wines of great elegance and complexity.
The Philosophy of Production
Altemasi’s philosophy is based on a few fundamental principles: respect for tradition, continuous innovation and attention to sustainability. Every stage of production, from harvest to fermentation, is taken care of with extreme precision to ensure the highest quality of the final product.
Respect for Tradition
Altemasi uses the classic method to produce its sparkling wines, a process that involves re-fermentation in the bottle and a long aging on the lees. This method, which requires time and dedication, results in wines with fine, persistent perlage and unique aromatic complexity.
Continuing Innovation
While maintaining a deep connection with tradition, Altemasi never stops innovating. The company constantly invests in research and development to improve winemaking and aging techniques. The use of modern technology enables precise monitoring of each stage of the production process, thus ensuring high quality standards.
Focus on Sustainability
Altemasi is committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. The farm adopts ecosystem-friendly farming practices and seeks to minimize the environmental impact of its operations. This commitment is also reflected in the bottle design and packaging, which are made from recyclable and environmentally friendly materials.
