Trento Riserva Brut Altemasi Graal shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent, fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of ripe banana, apple and plum followed by aromas of bread crust, praline, yeast, honey, citrus fruits, butter, hawthorn, vanilla and mineral. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, an effervescent and crisp attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of ripe banana, apple and plum. The base wine for the production of Trento Riserva Brut Altemasi Graal ferments in barrique and then referments in bottle on its lees for 72 months.
