"Famèi" Riesling Renano Trentino DOC 2019

When the valley is a distant memory and the mountain peaks seem so close as to give the idea of being able to touch them... When these conditions occur... the winegrower must show all his tenacity. And necessarily the grapes must be able to withstand simply extreme conditions. In such cases, the right grape variety is the Rhine Riesling. In the Cembra Valley, the ideal conditions for its cultivation can only be found at the highest altitudes. And it is precisely here that Corvée produces its Famèi, from a 'daring' vineyard 790 metres above sea level. The harvest, of course, is manual and takes place in the first ten days of October. In the cellar, we begin with a soft pressing of the bunches in an inert atmosphere, followed by a gentle static decantation of the must. This is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing on the lees for about 10 months in second and third passage French oak 'tonnaux'. Famèi presents itself in the glass of a beautiful straw yellow colour with golden hues. The nose is faintly bergamot, with aromas of wisteria and jasmine. On the palate, faint hints of flint, moss and mountain pine resin combine with the concentration and clarity of the Cembra porphyry soils. The aftertaste combines sweetness and freshness. A white characterised by great elegance, typical of the high Dolomite peaks.
