Cantina Sociale di Trento
Italy - Trentino
Web site: http://www.cantinasocialetrento.it/



In 1956 11 grape growers founded the Cantina Sociale di Trento with the explicit goal of making typically regional wines, and improving their economic standing. This beautiful region traversed by the Dolomites is one of Italy's richest agricultural areas. A new eco-sustainable winery was completed on the outskirts of Trento in 2009. The layout of the winery was designed to use gravity to allow a natural flow of grapes from north to south during the vinification process. This is testament to a commitment to use less electricity and lower the carbon footprint. 400 member growers now each farm approximately 1.5 hectares of vineyard, with several plots planted over 2,000 meters above sea level. The vineyards are all within the DOC Trentino area and 60% are planted with white grape varieties, with an average vine age of 20 years. The 1339 range of wines, takes its heritage from the date King John of Bohemia presented an eagle to the city of Trento, which subsequently became the symbol of the city. The inspiration for Cantina Sociale di Trento's premium range "Heredia" is derived from Latin word Heridium, meaning to bequeath land through the generations.
