Rotari Arte Italiana Rosé NV
TrentoDOC, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A Pinot Nero-driven Metodo Classico Rosé showcasing alpine freshness with delicate red-fruit character. Elegant in structure but stylistically more restrained than expressive.

Aromas & Flavors
Wild strawberry, red currant, pink grapefruit, and subtle rose petal. Light pastry hints appear briefly before a dry, crisp close.

Mouthfeel
Medium-light body with energetic acidity and fine mousse. Clean and refreshing, though less layered and less complex than its vintage sibling.

Food Pairings
Tuna crudo, smoked salmon, charcuterie, caprese salad, light poultry dishes.

Verdict
Nicely crafted and fresh, though not the standout of the lineup. Balanced and pleasant, yet lacking the extra dimension that elevates memorable Rosé sparklers.

Did You Know?
Rosé TrentoDOC is typically made with Pinot Nero, either via short skin contact or blending a small portion of red wine into the base.

🍷 Personal Pick
A respectable rosé expression, but not my stylistic favorite from the house. — 4 months ago

Trentodoc bubbles are a bleeping steal. So toasty, so nutty, but vibrant and fresh. Do try. — 3 years ago

Rotari Flavio Riserva 2016
TrentoDOC, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A vintage-dated Metodo Classico, Chardonnay-dominant with Pinot Nero support, aged extensively on lees. This 2016 Riserva shows remarkable depth, integration, and alpine precision. Structured, layered, and confidently mature, a sparkling wine that over-delivered in every dimension.

Aromas & Flavors
Baked apple, candied citrus peel, toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut, and delicate honeyed nuances. Subtle minerality runs through the core with beautifully integrated autolytic complexity.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with a refined, persistent mousse. Creamy texture meets vibrant acidity, creating tension and elegance. Long, composed finish with impressive depth and harmony.

Food Pairings
Lobster risotto, truffle pasta, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, roasted poultry, seared scallops with brown butter.

Verdict
The clear standout. Serious, layered, and age-worthy. This is where TrentoDOC flexes its muscle, delivering Champagne-level structure with alpine clarity and identity.

Did You Know?
Riserva-level TrentoDOC wines require a minimum of 36 months on lees, though many producers exceed this significantly for added complexity.

🍷 Personal Pick
Top wine of the Rotari lineup. The 2016 showed maturity, composure, and depth that completely elevated the tasting experience. A bottle worthy of cellaring and emotional remembrance. — 4 months ago

Lovely pale salmon color, 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir, richer than the NV Brut from last night, but not as taut and mineral (which I prefer), very fine Italian sparkler!! — 3 years ago

Named after Giulio Ferrari, who made the first Italian traditional method sparkling wine in 1902. Entirely made from Chardonnay and aged on the lees for a minimum of 15 months, the Ferrari NV Brut unfolds precise aromas of white peach, lemon peel, ripe apple and brioche, wrapped in a distinctive smokiness. The crisp acidity provides a firm backbone, giving this medium-bodied Trentodoc a lifting freshness. Drink now. — 3 years ago

Pale salmon all seashell and saltwater on the nose. So we have both river and ocean in one glass, boom. Jumpy but fine bubbles and same as nose but add in lilacs and raspberries so we are moving from water to land. Then the bubbles burst upon the tongue and we have sky. Am I missing any element? Nah, this is fire.
Well-priced fire to boot. Trentodoc I see you.

Update: just realized I reviewed this before but that was in relation to pairing with pizza. Which is fabulous at. But love it solo too! — 6 years ago

Very nice wine, especially considering Trentodoc isn't usually listed in the Italian sparkling wine section. I would love to find this again! — 11 years ago

Rotari Arte Italiana Brut NV
TrentoDOC, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A classic-method sparkling wine from the alpine slopes of Trentino, traditionally Chardonnay-led with Pinot Nero support. Clean, precise, and textbook TrentoDOC, offering bright acidity, fine mousse, and crisp mountain freshness. A solid benchmark expression that leans more classic than provocative.

Aromas & Flavors
Green apple, lemon zest, white peach, and subtle almond notes. Light brioche undertones appear gently in the background with a clean citrus-driven finish.

Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied with a fine bead and refreshing structure. Crisp, straightforward, and balanced, finishing dry and clean without excessive depth.

Food Pairings
Oysters, fried calamari, prosciutto & melon, tempura vegetables, light seafood pasta.

Verdict
Well-executed and reliable. A polished, standard-bearer Brut that delivers exactly what you expect from TrentoDOC — freshness, precision, and easy elegance.

Did You Know?
TrentoDOC requires secondary fermentation in bottle (Metodo Classico) and a minimum of 15 months on lees for non-vintage Brut styles.

🍷 Personal Pick
Appreciated for its correctness and balance, though stylistically more classic than emotionally striking. — 4 months ago

@Delectable Wine this is the Blanc de Noir*

One of Piedmont’s newest DOCs — for Metodo Classico wines from traditional French varieties. Why should Franciacorta & Trentodoc have all the fun? Great opener to one of best lunches / meals we had in Italy. — 3 years ago
