THE WINE

The champagne method Inkino brut nature sparkling wine from the Mas dei Chini winery is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, grown in Nassi di Cadino at 400 meters above sea level on a limestone dolomitic soil.

Trento DOC is synonymous of elegance and quality, the first sparkling wine  “controlled denomination of origin” in Italy and a point of reference in the champagne method sector. Today it covers about 30% of the national sparkling wine production. All the vineyards linked to the Trento DOC are located on slopes at medium altitude, with climates characterized by strong temperature variations. This kind of climate is the winning weapon as it gives the grapes aromatic complexity and fragrance.

THE WINEMAKING

After  the manual harvesting, the winemaking takes place in steel tanks. The wine then ages for 6 months in oak barrels before being bottled for the second fermentation. Once bottled, it rests for over 70 months on the lees.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. The perlage is fine and creamy. The aroma is intense and fragrant, with notes of apple and peach alternating with hints of lightly toasted hazelnut. The freshness and the sapidity that can be perceived on the palate balance an important structure. The profile is completed by a citrusy and persistent aftertaste characterized by a pleasant savory note that cleans the palate.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, even raw, but also with white meats.
