Ottavio - Teroldego Rotaliano Superiore - Riserva 2020

A century in the making.

Ottavio is not just a wine; it is a piece of history. This Riserva 2020 is sourced from a tiny plot of ancient vines—some over 100 years old—growing in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, widely considered one of the most stunningly beautiful vineyards in Europe. This is the birthplace of the Teroldego grape, and this wine is its ultimate expression: hand-selected with rigorous precision, fermented spontaneously in cement, and aged for 15 months in oak barriques.

What makes it special?

Rich, elegant, and deeply soulful. The nose is a complex bouquet of dark red fruits and jam, backed by a powerful, spicy vein and liquirish. On the palate, it’s rich, powerful, and structured. It is a bold, "important" wine that manages to keep its characteristic Alpine elegance and frehness despite its power.

What to pair it with:

• Wild game
• Slow-cooked red meats and rich stews
• Aged, intense cheeses
• A quiet night and a deep conversation

Serve at 16–18°C | 13.5% alcohol

Ageing Potential: 12 – 15 Years

Drinking Window: 2024 – 2035

The De Vigili family has been tied to winemaking in Trentino since the 19th century. Though wars and hardship interrupted the story, the estate was rebuilt with determination and guided by a philosophy that values quality over size.

Today the winery is led by Francesco De Vigili, who has given new life to the family tradition with a bold and contemporary vision. The cellar is imagined not only as a place of production but as a space of inclusion and gathering, where wine, art, and the beauty of the Dolomites come together.

With an eye for detail and a respect for history, De Vigili continues to craft wines that reflect both the land and the spirit of those who tend it, offering bottles with authenticity, personality, and character.

The vineyards of De Vigili are located in the Piana Rotaliana, one of Trentino’s most renowned wine-growing areas. Nestled between the Adige and Noce rivers and framed by the Dolomite rock walls of Mezzocorona and Mezzolombardo, this land has been shaped by glaciers and enriched with fertile soils of sand, silt, and Tonalite pebbles.

The climate is marked by striking contrasts: cold alpine winds meet warm currents rising from Lake Garda, creating wide day-night temperature shifts that bring both freshness and depth to the wines.

In this unique environment, Chardonnay and Teroldego thrive, producing mountain wines that are precise, mineral, and full of character — a true reflection of the Dolomites.
