Italy's premier mountain sparkling wine appellation, produced exclusively by the traditional method (metodo classico) in the Dolomite foothills of Trentino. Chardonnay and Pinot Nero on high-altitude limestone vineyards produce sparkling wines of remarkable freshness, autolytic complexity, and alpine mineral precision. Ferrari Trento dominates internationally but a generation of small estates is raising the bar.
