Trento DOC is an appellation for white and rosé sparkling wine made in Trentino, Italy. Trentino developed this appellation, the second in the world after Champagne, to ensure quality and distinction. Only Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier with Pinot blanc are permitted, and they must be grown in a well-defined area within the Province of Trento. Trentodoc sparkling wine is produced using the Classic Method, or Metodo Classico, and made only with Trentino grapes. After harvesting by hand, the winemaking process begins. It takes time and daily work for months or years before a Trentodoc is ready. Listen for all the details about this exquisite northern Italian sparkling wine and where you can find it! With 26 gold and 36 silver medals, Trentodoc is the most awarded in Italy at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships 2023, the most selective and prestigious world competition dedicated to the world of sparkling wines, in which 19 countries participated with more than 1000 labels.
