We discuss it with Pietro Pellegrini, President and Sales Director of Pellegrini S.p.A., a longstanding benchmark in the selection and distribution of top-quality labels across the Italian market.
A DOC that has steadily won over consumers: Trento
“In recent years, traditional-method sparkling wines have taken on a central role in Italian consumption, with production expanding steadily in many regions. However, among the appellations that have stood out for quality and character, Trento Classico undoubtedly shines, capable of expressing the alpine terroir at its very best.”
Comparing languages: educating consumers about Italian sparkling wine through the language of our French counterparts
“Today, Italian consumers have learned to recognize and appreciate the quality of domestic sparkling wines without necessarily looking to France. That said, the comparison with French sparkling wines has raised expectations, making the public more discerning. We can no longer be content with ‘ordinary’ products. In this context, the Simoni family, with the Trento Classico range under the Monfort label, has achieved an extraordinary level of quality, the result of four decades of dedication. We at Pellegrini are proud to distribute these labels in the ho.re.ca. market, which is increasingly focused on excellence.”
From selection to service: two different yet complementary aspects
“Selecting quality products and providing impeccable service are the two pillars of our distribution business. It is the winery’s task to produce Trento Classico wines of the highest standard; it is Pellegrini’s honor and responsibility to bring them to consumers. The distributor’s role is strategic: understanding market changes and identifying new trends is essential for success. For example, in recent years we have seen a growing demand for lower dosage, especially from younger generations. In this scenario, Trento Classico, with its finesse and structure, has managed to express itself beautifully even with minimal residual sugar.”
A sparkling wine for every generation: Trento Classico Monfort and the contemporary palate
“Consumer preferences evolve over time. Today, the demand for drier, more vertical sparkling wines is strong among younger generations, who appreciate the purity and tension of mountain wines. Trento DOC Monfort perfectly represents this evolution, maintaining great elegance even with reduced dosage.”
A toast to the future
“We can only conclude by celebrating the 40th anniversary of Cuvée ‘85. An important milestone, which we celebrate with a toast to our families and to all the collaborators who make the success of Trento Classico Monfort possible. The future holds many more great satisfactions!”
