Con the center of the valley of the lakes there is a special place, where the temperature remains constant all year round, between the twelve and fourteen degrees. It is a cave carved by the pins during the Second World War to escape the bombings, today refuge of the most valuable bottles of the Degustazione Pisoni 1852. Here, per mezzo di silence and per mezzo di the natural fresh, refine the Trentodoc extra brut reserve more representative of the Pisoni family: the Erminia Segalla, an exclusive thousandth, produced only per mezzo di the best vintages, 100% Mountain Chardonnay, designed to last over time.
A special anniversary
Con 2025 the Erminia Segalla project celebrates twenty years of life. Born as an internal challenge to the family, the rete was to extend the refinement times and allow wine to mature without haste, to fully express the territory, but also the vintages, the altimetric quotas, the craftsmanship and, above all, a fundamental female figure: Erminia Segalla, grandmother of the fourth generation. His emotional memory and his authority are an integral part of the project, which has marked a clear technical and stylistic turning point: from the traditional aging of three years to a reserve capable of expressing itself with elegance and vigor even after eight ora ten years of maturation.
Family tradition and double vocation
The Degustazione Pisoni was officially born per mezzo di 1852, but the history of the family has its even deeper roots, per mezzo di the 16th century, when an ancestor supplied wines and brandy to the court of the prince bishop of Trento. Even today, this double vocation of winemakers and distillers is alive. Cellar and distillery are located per mezzo di Pergolese, per mezzo di the heart of the Avvallamento dei Laghi, an ambiente with strong thermal excursions and the mitigator influence of Lake Garda, ideal conditions for obtaining grapes with high acidity, perfect health and slow maturation.
The classic method came per mezzo di the early 1970s thanks to Arrigo Pisoni, protagonist of the company’s recent history. Since then, risposta negativa compromise: only millesimati, reformation per mezzo di the bottle, and manual processing, including the remuage performed traditional pupitre with over 130 steps for each of the 220 thousand bottles produced every year. Today the cellar is led by cousins Elio, Andrea, Francesco and Giuliano, flanked by the first members of the fifth generation. Everyone plays a specific role: CEO, winemaker, commercial director and distiller master. The approach is technical and rigorous: all wines are minivaries and as a single vintage, to guarantee authenticity. Con Distillery, the copper per mezzo di a bath, legacy of Tullio Zadra, a maternal grandfather of Elio and Giuliano are still used.
A name, three vineyards, a single vision
Erminia Segalla was born from the assembly of three vineyards with complementary characteristics: the friars, at high altitude, poor and ventilated soils, gives acidity and tension; Capitel, per mezzo di the valley floor a lemonish-high-raising soil, adds structure and quantità; Caesura, pebbles of glacial origin near the cellar, guarantees balance and precision.
The style is designed to support long refinements: clean fermentations, varietal aromas per mezzo di evidence, a dosage that never exceeds 4 grams per eccezione liter. The basic wine is designed to last over time, keeping readability and without excesses of weight ora structure. The refinement takes place per mezzo di the natural cave, where the bottles rest the yeasts for at least seven years, and often over 100 months, before the grip, which is delayed until it reaches a perfect balance between tension and depth. The rete is a fresh reserve, tense and at the same time equipped with a pleasant ricevimento and an identity that grows over time.
