VELOUR
L'audacia del Meunier,
la setosità della roccia
“In the landscape of Trentino Classic Method, crafting a 100% single-varietal Pinot Meunier is an act of absolute freedom. An enigmatic variety that transforms on our limestone terraces into pure mineral silk.”
Often relegated to a secondary blending role, on the slopes of Monte Bondone in Cimone Pinot Meunier finds its chosen cradle. Velour extracts its deepest soul: a soft, enveloping texture forged in the rigor of dolomitic rock and safeguarded by time.
100% Pinot Meunier · Dosaggio Extra Brut
Tessitura vellutata,
profumo dolomitico
Grown on steep ledges, Velour dialogues with the vast temperature fluctuations of day and night. Its caressing texture never surrenders to complacency: it is perpetually braced by a vibrant, savory tension.
Velvet Enveloping Stone
The label of Velour encapsulates the synthesis of the project: the tactile communion between the softness of cloth and the mineral austerity of alpine rock. An unconventional creation born from listening intimately to the Cimone vineyard.
“We do not seek easy approachability, but the depth of a sip that endures in memory for its elegance, rhythm, and persistence.”
Alpine slopes,
hand harvest
On the terraces of Monte Bondone, every row demands devotion and strenuous toil. Pinot Meunier vines defy the gradient, sinking their roots deep into well-drained dolomitic limestone abundant in mineral gravel.
Harvesting is conducted strictly by hand in 15 kg perforated crates at dawn. Gentle whole-cluster pressing follows to extract only the noble free-run juice.
Tasting Notes
The aromatic complexity of 100% single-varietal Pinot Meunier reveals itself in the glass with an aristocratic, nuanced progression.
Sight
Luminous warm gold laced with subtle coppery nuances. Tight, creamy, microscopic perlage with a slow, continuous rise forming a soft, lingering crown of foam.
Nose
Enveloping aromatic spectrum: small wild mountain berries (redcurrant, pomegranate, wild strawberry), candied orange peel, and quince, adorned with hints of warm brioche, oriental spices, and crisp balsamic undertones.
Palate
Ingresso vellutato e carezzevole di singolare ampiezza tattile (Velour). La morbidezza del sorso è immediatamente rinvigorita da una tensione minerale affilata e da una sapidità salina che prolunga la beva in un finale vibrante.
