More questions
The Spumante Brut Metodo Classico Trento DOC by Raeticus is born in the heart of the Trentino Alps, an area renowned for excellence in the production of superior quality sparkling wines. Made with Chardonnay grapes, this metodo classico perfectly expresses the fresh and mineral character of the mountainous territory, where the temperature variations promote a balance between acidity and aromas.
The long aging on lees gives it a fine and persistent foam, with aromas evoking notes of green apple, toasted bread, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it is elegant, vibrant, and well-structured, capable of elegantly accompanying seafood appetizers, raw fish, or dishes based on fresh vegetables.
The Trento DOC by Raeticus represents a perfect blend of tradition and territory, embodying the vitality of the Trentino mountains in every sip.

The story
Raeticus is the name of the sparkling range developed within the LeVide project, a Trentino-based producer focused on Trentodoc. LeVide’s official information describes the brand as the result of a project tied to mountain viticulture and the pursuit of quality; in commercial catalogues and distributor listings the Raeticus range appears with multiple references dedicated to Metodo Classico. Some company and catalog sources report different dates for the start of the LeVide project; therefore the year of foundation is not stated here due to lack of consensus among sources.
Production philosophy
An approach focused on producing mountain sparkling wines according to the Traditional Method: careful attention to the raw material, extended lees aging, and showcasing the Trentino territory through fresh, characterful wines.
