The Allure
High up in the dramatic, cool climate valleys of the Italian Alps lies one of sparkling wine's best kept secrets. Rather than defaulting to basic Prosecco or paying a massive markup for entry level French Champagne, discerning fizz lovers flock to the mountain slopes of Trentodoc. Named in honor of the legendary Longobard King Autari, Rotari operates as the elite sparkling house of the Mezzacorona group. This bottle is a crisp, highly sophisticated Blanc de Blancs that delivers serious mountain elegance and rich autolytic depth directly to your glass.
Why It’s Exceptional

• The Taste: A bright, golden straw pour animated by a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet opens with crisp orchard aromatics, featuring pure appley fruit supported by subtle toasted brioche notes. On the palate, the extended lees contact reveals impressive depth of flavor, marrying vibrant mountain acidity with a creamy, highly refined texture that finishes clean and dry.
  
• The Pedigree: 100 percent Chardonnay hand harvested exclusively from Rotari's own estate vineyards in the cool Adige Valley, north of Trento. Crafted using the traditional method with secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle, this cuvée spends over thirty six months maturing on its fine lees. This patient process imparts a gorgeous textural richness that far exceeds standard DOC requirements.
  
• The Ritual: A fantastic option for high society welcomes or food friendly celebrations. Serve it nicely chilled in wide tulip glasses to allow its complex orchard and brioche aromas to fully unfurl. Thanks to its crisp structure and creamy body, it pairs spectacularly with fresh oysters, parmesan reggiano wedges, creamy mushroom risotto, or delicate seafood carpaccio.
