Michei Trento DOC Extra Brut by Tenuta J. Hofstätter

The Michei Trento DOC Extra Brut by Tenuta J. Hofstätter is a classic method sparkling wine of great precision, an authentic expression of the high Trentino altitude and the territory's vocation for quality bubbles. Made from Chardonnay, it combines freshness, finesse, and complexity in an elegant and modern profile, designed for those seeking a wine that stands out at the table and during toasts.

Territory and wine style

The cuvée originates in the Maso Michei, in an alpine landscape of Trentino where the vineyards extend up to 850 meters in altitude, on steep and sunny slopes. This mountainous context, along with the cool climate, promotes a slow maturation of the grapes and allows for a wine with a clear, vertical, and refined character. The Trento DOC designation has always been synonymous with high-profile classic method, and in this case, the Extra Brut style enhances the purity of the fruit and the taste tension, without excessive softness.

On the palate, it is tense, savory, and harmonious, supported by good freshness and a balanced structure. The finish is refined, dry, and persistent, with a pleasant sensation of taste cleanliness that invites another sip.
