Description

Another if not the greatest excellence of the Dorigati house. The most expressive bottle of the house. A deep ruby red with violet reflections, produced in purity from a native Sottodossi vine.

The name Luigi is attributed to the wine, to celebrate the founder of the cellar. The Teroldego grapes come exclusively from the Sottodossi vineyard. Here the Teroldego vine expresses itself at its best, achieving excellence in its expression. Water stress, coupled with the richness of minerals present in the soil, cause flavors and smells to explode.

Between the notes of the evening and the sweet cuddle, the highest levels are reached with a glass of red. A kaleidoscope of musical notes between marasca cherries and blackcurrants, and slightly vanilla notes. With flavors with important volumes that leave the palate an aftertaste yet to be savored.

Winery history

The Dorigati family has been active in Mezzocorona for generations: the company traces its origins to 1858 and developed as a family-run business dedicated to viticulture in the Piana Rotaliana. The current premises at Via Dante 5 date back to the early 20th century, with later extensions and a winery renovation completed in 1998. In the 1980s the winery also launched the Methius project, a Trento DOC Metodo Classico reserve.

Production philosophy

The winery focuses on territorial identity and quality: traditional viticultural practices, cluster selection and winemaking designed to bring out the character of the individual vineyards of the Piana Rotaliana and the pedemontane hills. It produces both 'classic' wines tied to the territory and Metodo Classico sparkling wines, with attention to artisanal process management.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the Piana Rotaliana and on the foothill slopes of Mezzocorona, with some plots associated with specific crus, such as the 'Bagolari' vineyard. Some Traditional Method cuvées come from hilly areas such as Faedo and Pressano; the soils include fluvial and glacial deposits typical of the area.
