Named Ramato—Italian for Copper—this wine boasts a beautiful, light-tinted orange reflection. Produced in the high elevations of Trento, Italy, it revives the ancient way of drinking Pinot Grigio. Thanks to a short time on the skins, the result is a remarkably clean and elegant orange wine that initially presents with the crisp, refreshing character of a rosé. Yet, it quickly deepens, offering a rich, full-bodied taste that pairs perfectly with a charcuterie board featuring savory Alpine meats and cheeses.

Integrated vineyard management: an agricultural approach aimed at protecting vines from diseases, pests, and weather conditions in a sustainable and targeted manner. This method combines various strategies, such as using resistant plants, biological control, rational use of plant protection products, and conscientious management of soil and the surrounding environment. Biological control: Natural predators of vineyard pests, such as predatory insects or bacteria that act against harmful fungi, are favored. Monitoring: Constant monitoring of vine conditions is carried out to intervene promptly in case of problems, reducing the need for massive treatments. Targeted chemical control: If necessary, plant protection products are used in a targeted manner and in accordance with regulations, avoiding waste and reducing environmental impact. Cultural techniques: Agronomic practices such as correct pruning, irrigation management, and balanced fertilization are adopted to promote vine health. This approach requires a deep understanding of the vineyard ecosystem and careful resource management but leads to quality wine production while reducing environmental impact and dependency on chemical substances.
The grapes are selectively hand-harvested and then destemmed. This is followed by a few hours of cold maceration in the press before the must is pressed. Fermentation takes place in a combination of temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and barriques, where the wine then matures for approximately one year. A final refinement in the bottle completes the process.

The 2022 vintage in Trento was a challenging year defined by extreme heat and widespread drought across Italy, forcing producers to begin the harvest for sparkling wine bases (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) earlier than usual. However, the region's signature high-altitude vineyards and significant diurnal temperature shifts allowed the grapes to maintain crucial freshness and high acidity. Consequently, while yields may have been impacted, the vintage is expected to produce concentrated and healthy base wines necessary for high-quality Trentodoc sparkling wine.
