Trentino Superiore Vino Santo DOC is a golden dessert wine made from the local Nosiola grape (85-100%), with the permitted addition of local white grapes (0-15%). However, the grape is usually complemented by Traminer Aromatico and Moscato Giallo.
The vineyards are part of the municipalities of Calavino, Cavedine, Lasino, Padergnone and Verzano, all in the province of Trento.
Before pressing, the grapes are hung to dry on special racks (Arele) and then are dried almost into raisins. The grapes are pressed before February 1st of the year following the harvest.
