The Cantina La-Vis e Valle di Cembra winery owns several estates located in Trentino and Alto Adige. Ritratti is the flagship of the portfolio. The Ritratti wines are produced from vineyards in the most desirable locations of the property. The labels are decorated with the lovely paintings by Giovanni Segantini, the famous Trentino painter who in his art expresses a close bond with nature and this land. In addition to the wines, La Vis also produces single varietal Grappas distilled in Valle di Cembra using the just-racked pomaces output from Ritratti's single vineyards. The Cantina La-Vis e Valle di Cembra winery is located in Trentino, Alto Adige in the township of Lavis, near Trento. The production area consists of vineyards in Valle dell'Adige, extending up to the hills of Lavis, Sorni and Meano and to the typical terraces of Valle di Cembra. It also includes the South Tyrol areas of Pochi and Salorno, Isera in Vallagarina, and other areas in the province of Verona. The grapes used in this unique blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio come from vineyards located on the highest slopes of the Avisiane hills,1,600 feet above sea level. They are meticulously managed to assure the finest grapes are produced. Vinification takes place using avant-garde technologies which prevent contact with oxygen during all phases, thereby keeping the original characteristics of the grape variety fully intact. The wine has a vivid green, straw-like color and the aroma has fruity notes of apple and lemon showing hints of sage. On the palate it presents a vitality, freshness and piquancy. This selection offers a panoply of ripe flavors including peach and apricot with a hint of vanilla and spice. Light acidity and a long, soft finish make it a perfect match for fillet of sole in a mint sauce sprinkled with pine nuts.
