Now in its 18th edition, the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) is the largest and the most influential wine competition in the world with an unrivaled global reach. Judged by the best wine experts in the world, DWWA is internationally appreciated for its rigorous evaluation process.
Over 15 consecutive days in June, almost 170 expert wine judges, including 44 Masters of Wine and 11 Master Sommeliers, awarded 50 Best in Show, 179 Platinum, 635 Gold, 5,607 Silver and 8,332 Bronze medals.
Considering that only 179 wines out of 18.094 tasted wines have reached the Platinum Medal, of which 36 Italian wines and only 3 of Trentino Alto Adige.
Nosiola of Cantina Toblino, after receiving 97 points in the competition last year with Vino Santo Trentino, confirms itself, winning the Platinum Medal with Largiller 2013. It is described by Decanter as “˜Beautifully perfumed, with a nose layered with dried citrus, vanilla sugar, confectioners custard and russet apple aromas, while the saline palate is textured with lemon, lime and a lovely succulent acidity’.
Nosiola, the only native white grape variety of Trentino, is the iconic grape variety of Cantina Toblino, hearth of viticulture in Valle dei Laghi. The cooperative winery was founded in 1960 at the behest of a group of passionate winemakers who glimpsed the great winemaking vocation of the Valle dei Laghi. From that moment, the link between social cooperation, people and territory remains essential. To date, there are over 600 members-winemakers with almost 900 hectares of vineyards, of which over a third are converted to organic.
The attention they pay daily to the care of the vineyard is high, a continuous manual work that requires passion, patience, great dedication and continuous training.
In 2016 was born the project Vènt, of which Largiller is part, to best express the identity of Valle dei Laghi and the savoir-faire of Cantina Toblino, an inseparable union between territory and environment: organic intended as an expression of quality and territorial protection.
The name Largiller comes from its clay component present in the soil where the grapes grow, which gives, together with Ora del Garda, unsurpassed peculiarities to the bunches. These characteristics allow having a late ripening, that is harvested in the first half of October.
This Nosiola is the pure expression of the identity of Valle dei Laghi, bringing with it history, tradition, vocazione and enhancing the uniqueness of the territory: an elegant and complex wine with many shades that alternate with smell and taste.
In addition to the Platinum Medal obtained by Largiller 2013, the other wines presented by Cantina Toblino received:
1 Gold Medal (95 ““ 95 pts): L’Ora 2016
6 Silver Medal (90 ““ 94 pts) Vent 2017, Foll 2019, Prà al 2019, da Fòra 2019, Baticòr 2018, eLimarò 2016

Among the activities planned, the 7th October, a Masterclass organized by Gambero Rosso at the Four Seasons Hotel, in which partecipated also Cantina Toblino with L’Ora, awarded with the 3 Bicchieri.
A white wine that defies time, L’Ora of Toblino, from Nosiola grapes, a lustrum (2015) that gives further complexity to the white obtained with one of the great autochthonous varieties.”
Lorenzo Ruggeri, food and wine journalist for Gambero Rosso, described Cantina Toblino as ‘a reality in which 600 partners work together according to a strict protocol that allows them to create great wines, environmental sustainability, continuity and many projects on different land. Its Nosiola, the unique great Trentino native grape, is a very particular but versatile variety, which allows the production of great dry and sweet wines. It has a character that comes out of the chor, with hints and rhythms that taste of other time.’
The Nosiola, aged for 5 years, was a surprise both for the critics and the guests present at the event.
Trento DOC is the expression of the land it comes from, Trentino. It is made only with selected Trentino Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier grapes produced by the ‘Classic Method’. The territorial characteristics, the variety of the climate, the typical altitude of Trentino and the hand of the man who creates it make it a real unique and inimitable sparkling wine from the mountains.
Trento Doc, the brand created in 2007, comes from the union of Trento and the suffix -doc, that seales the path taken since Trentino, in 1993, got the first Denomination of Controlled Origins in Italy dedicated exclusively to the Classic Method.
Vinibuoni d’Italia, the only Italian guide dedicated to the wine from native vine, awarded the 4 Stars, recogniction that emphasizes and excellent wine in which there are a complete expression of the vine and a relationship of elegance and balance, to the following wines of Cantina Toblino:
– TRENTO DOC MILLESIMATO BRUT ANTARES 2016
– TRENTO DOC MILLESIMATO BRUT NATURE ANTARES 2016
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
These wines are exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, obtained from vineyards located in the best exposed hilly areas of the Valle dei Laghi. In the spring following the harves, the white winemaking of the base wine is followed by the tirage in the bottle, where the second fermentation takes place as well as the long period of maturation in contact with the yeasts for over 36 months and the riddling of the pupitres. Then follow the ending with dosage for the Antares Brut and the ending without’ dosate (ie. without adding sugar) for the Antares Brut Nature, and the final clapping.
Franco Ziliani, a well-known wine journalist and a cultural and tasting expert, arrived in Trentino for a tasting of more than 70 Trento Doc, on our invitation comes to visit us at Cantina Toblino, where he appreciates our wines paired to the kitchen of the chef Sebastian Sartorelli at Hosteria Toblino. In addition to this, he described Trento Doc as the Classic Method on which he would aim for the future.
The guide “˜Vini d’Italia’ of Gambero Rosso is one of the most authoritative Italian publications, which annually assigns the prestigious 3 Bicchieri, the highest recognition expected for a wine: an award for a few, prestigious labels.
A consolidated experience of over 30 years of history has allowed this guide to acquire authority towards consumers, presenting itself every year as an important voice of food and wine criticism, capable of directing the market by pointing out the excellences, whether they are produced by small winemakers as from large cellars.
Also this year, the Nosiola di Toblino is reconfirmed, receiving the 3 Bicchieri with L’Ora 2015 of Cantina Toblino: a white wine that defies time, a luster (2015) on the shoulders to give further complexity to the white obtained with one of the great native varieties, made an even more noble vine, with an identity in the Dolomite approach, which tries its hand at slowness and relaunches goduriose simplicity.
The Nosiola grapes, vinified with greater care and attention, give rise to a decidedly satisfying and equally versatile white wine. Able to satisfy a jovial consumption as the patient – deserved – expected. Because his genuine youthful strength becomes singularly complex with the passage of time. Golden, with apparently imperceptible reflections, it relaunches a first-rate floral olfactory set, so much so that it competes with wines from much more noble and international vines.
Nosiola, unmistakably linked to Vino Santo, the undisputed star of the Gambero Rosso 2020 guide, which described it as the Best Sweet Wine of Italy, winning it 3 Bicchieri.
‘«This century of ours, born and raised under the sign of industrial civilization, first invented the machine and then made it its own model of life.
Speed “‹”‹has become our chain, we are all in the throes of a fast life, which upsets our habits. But man sapiens must recover his wisdom and free himself from the speed that can reduce him to an endangered species.
Against those who confuse efficiency with frenzy, we offer an adequate portion of pleasures to be practiced in slow and prolonged enjoyment.
Let’s start right at the table with Slow Food, rediscovering the richness and aromas of local cuisine.
If fast life, in the name of productivity, has changed our lives and threatens the environment and the landscape, Slow Food is today the avant-garde response.
Here, in the development of taste, true culture can begin, then progress can begin, with the international exchange of stories, knowledge, projects. Slow Food ensures a better future.
Slow Food is an idea that needs many qualified supporters to make this (slow) movement an international movement, of which the snail is the symbol.’»
Good, clean and fair. This is the philosophy of the cellars towards which Slow Wine,’ life stories, vineyards and wines in Italy pushes the visitor. A wine guide produced by Slow Food that reviews wines and cellars, thanks to the help of a number of collaborators that are now close to 300 people. A mapping of the territory that has no equal and that allows you to always report new companies and oenological realities to insiders and simple enthusiasts.
The guide assigns its awards to the most deserving companies both for the quality of the wine and for the quality of the agriculture used to produce it.
The goal is to tell the history of the cellars, to describe the vineyards and the cultivation systems adopted to conclude with the judgment of the wines. For this reason Slow Wine is the most complete Italian guide, suitable for everyone: both for readers who are just at the beginning of their journey of discovering wine, and for more experienced wine lovers, who are looking for advice on how to buy a bottle rather than another.
Cantina Toblino was awarded with the Moneta, symbol assigned to wineries that have expressed a good relationship between quality and price. To Da Fòra Manzoni Bianco Trentino Doc Bio was awarded the title of’ Top Wine, wine that from an organoleptic point of view has achieved excellence during tastings.
The novelty of the 2021 guide is represented by the new cover, which differs considerably from the previous ones in terms of graphics and materials used. This is in fact printed on CRUSH Uva 350.
CRUSH is the new ecological range of paper made with by-products of agro-industrial processes that replace up to 15% of cellulose from trees.
Grape residues are reused as a noble raw material. The materials are visible on the paper surface and give an unusual tactile appearance.
This is good news for the environment at a time when traditional paper production heavily affects forest resources and the growing scarcity of nature reserves.
The eco-friendly paper CRUSH, it contains, within its formulation, components with low environmental impact, both in terms of product and energy. By using agro-industrial waste and 100% green energy, the carbon footprint is reduced by 20%.
These values “‹”‹are the same that Cantina Toblino has been trying to promote for years, such as the enhancement of the territory and sustainability both at an environmental and social level.

Trento, May 18, 2020 ““ Cantina Toblino, together with Microsoft and its partner Si-Net, has reconceived the enogastronomic experience to offer its first Virtual Food&Wine Tasting thanks to the Teams cloud collaboration platform. This renowned wine cellar in the Valle dei Laghi “” which since 1960 has included over 600 member wine growers and nearly 850 hectares of vineyards to generate annual revenues of more than €17 million “” has transformed the crisis surrounding the current health emergency into an opportunity to modernize the way it works and launch new methods of digital interaction with players and opinion leaders in the wine and food market. Thanks to the new Microsoft technologies, has taken place today the first international virtual tasting of the Vènt line, the wine project which embodies the identity of the Valle dei Laghi and the savoir-fare of Cantina Toblino by focusing on its organic orientation as an expression of quality and maintaining local tradition.

CANTINA TOBLINO & VENT
Cantina Toblino, the heart of viticulture in Valle dei Laghi, was born in 1960 at the behest of a group of passionate winemakers who glimpsed the great wine-growing vocation of Valle dei Laghi. To date, there are over 600 wine-grower members with nearly 850 hectares of vineyards. The attention they pay daily to the care of the vineyard is high, continuous manual work that requires passion, patience, great dedication and continuous training. For over 20 years, Cantina Toblino has managed the land of the Mensa Vescovile, a single block of 40 hectares under direct management, cultivated for years according to the principles of organic viticulture. Today over a third of the vineyards of the Cantina Toblino members are converted to organic, paying great attention to the environment, to people and to the care of the vineyard, producing grapes of the highest quality, a fundamental basis for wines.
In this context, the “Vènt” project was born with the ambition to best express the identity of the wines of the Valle dei Laghi and the savoir-faire of Cantina Toblino, organic intended as an expression of quality and territorial safeguard. The lakes, in the name, the wind in the identity. In an inseparable union. Which makes the Valle dei Laghi as varied as the alpine landscape allows. Indelible traces of ancestral mutations. Water, rocks, air. Mixed who knows how and when, until they form scenarios of an apparently homogeneous habitat, in reality all to be discovered. Still mixed, with the work of man, of his constant work. Silent work, often forgotten, but which shaped the valley: it made it ‘genius loci’. With what ‘site genius’? That of being an area that allows you to intuit, glimpse misunderstood atmospheres in the landscape. You see, you admire, the panorama seems homologous to you and in reality it is a triumph of diversity. The one that fascinates with spontaneity; as the boundaries intersect between water and sky, lands and rocky walls, all blurred into each other. With decidedly significant natural archetypes. That testify to an agricultural tradition, a history intertwined with vines and vines, between conservation and innovation. As the valley focuses on tradition to develop its physiognomy, applying (almost) unconsciously the lesser known meaning of the word ‘tradition’. That from the Latin ‘traditio’, Greek derivation of ‘tradere’, that is to say to deliver and transmit meanings that have links with the concept of ‘betrayal’. Although this is intended as a ‘consecutive’ of environmental specificity, in order to affirm the identity value of everything related, it is close to its origin, to ‘open the birthplace to light’.
Holm oaks, olive trees, especially vines. Few other Alpine resorts can boast such a singular vine cult. Vines and wines of a place, between beneficial waters and breezes. A valley where the rows almost blend into the blue of the water and the clear blue Alpine sky. For centuries vines grown on fields torn from the mountain. On terraces which fortunately prevented the intensive exploitation of the territory.
Here you cannot see vineyards without imperfections. The aesthetic is still the result of the hand of man, of the winemaker. Safe hand planted the row by eye, respecting the ridge of the hill, the (right) direction of exposure towards the afternoon sun.
That’s why still in this valley wines stand out in that they tell the territory where they are born. They contain knowledge. Not just flavors. But how do you understand this valley? Just let yourself be guided by the landscape. Using the wind, the Hour. Vènt, breezes, gusts that transmit voices, sounds, condition microclimates, and therefore crops and cultures.
Vènt, a project that starts from the vine to obtain excellent quality grapes, ends in the cellar, among the French oak barrels, terracotta amphorae. A project born from the passion of man, in the vineyard and in the cellar, and which takes the form of tasting, an unforgettable moment imprinted in our mind.
The idea behind all these wines is to surprise from the first taste, bringing to mind memories of the Valle dei Laghi, of its idyllic landscapes, of a healthy and fresh air, where the vines of Cantina Toblino grow, cultivated day by day with great passion.
