Lesser Known Sparklers

​Trentodoc
Trentodoc wines are sparkling wines produced in the Trentino DOC region of Northern Italy. The wines can have equal proportions of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Meunier and/or Pinot Noir. This blend largely follows Champagne's example.  The wines have flavors of stone fruit, berry and citrus flavors with pronounced saline-laced minerality. They have high acidity because of the Alpine area in which they are grown and are great to pair with a wide range of foods. 
They are made using the standard Champagne methods. The Non-vintage wines must be aged at least 15 months prior to release, vintage -dated bottles a minimum 24 months and those labeled riserva a minimum of 36 months.
