It has an enhanced fruity flavour with notes of red and yellow apples, apricot, white me- lon, and citrus fruits. It is dry, harmonious and with balanced acidity.

Cultivated and vinified in the widest range of wine-growing areas, over the centuries Chardonnay has found the Dolomites a small corner where it has been able to integrate well with the local viticulture. The wide temperature range in this valley helps accentuate its cooler and more aromatic side and how the hills in Trentino are exposed to light leads to a perfect maturation of the grape.

Traditional white vinification with brief contact on the skins to ensure that the grapes’ aromas and characteristics are transfer- red to the wine, followed by a controlled fermentation at low temperature. This wine seeks to enhance the true character of the vine and moves away from the long aging process and maturation in wood.

A wine made by the hands of Mezzacorona’s members who have been working the vineyard for decades and whose grapes result in a young and vivid Chardonnay, exalting the elegant soul of those who have cultivated it.

About Mezzacorona Wines, Dolomites in Italy

WINES FROM THE ITALIAN ALPS

Mezzacorona lies at the foot of the majestic Italian Dolomites. Its vineyards with pergola trellising, characteristic of the region, run from Lake Garda to the foothills of the towering Dolomites. A fresh and wild breeze blows from the over 400 lakes and numerous glaciers of the surrounding mountains, peaking at over 9,000 feet.

Thanks to a spectrum of microclimates, ranging from Mediterranean and Alpine, and profiting from over a century of winemaking experience, Mezzacorona planted varietals in the zones best tailored to the needs of each varietal, allowing them to flaunt the aromas and flavour of their terroir. Starting as a co-op in 1904 with 13 farming families, todays there are 1,600 farming families with 2,800 hectares of vineyards.

Through state-of-the-art facilities and modern winemaking techniques, Mezzacorona offers to the final consumer 100% single varietal wines characterized by all the vivid elegance and crispiness typical of the Italian Dolomites.

Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay are dominant in the Dolomites. They are well known for their floral tones, exotic fruit, ripe aromas and silky smoothness on the palate. Mezzacorona is the largest Italian estate producer of these two varietals.

Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon also have a long history of cultivation in the region. They are vinified in such a way that the varietals’ flavors of forest berries, chocolate and toasted almond are preserved.

As the winemakers intended, these wines are crafted to be a perfect complement to Italian and International cuisine.
Mezzacorona constantly receives strong ratings, and is renowned for its consistent quality, vintage after vintage.
