Mezzacorona cultivates this variety exclusively in Piana Rotaliana, Trentino.

It has a ruby red colour with violet reflections, an intense bouquet with notes of wild berries, particularly blueberry, red- berry, raspberry. It has velvety tannins and is structured.

Since the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the “gold of Tyrol” has always been appreciated for its powerful, dense, and intense colour alongside its distinct and unmistakable fruitiness. In the last decades, this variety has been made with long aging in wood, exalting its body and structure.

Today Maso di Mezzo reveals a modern Teroldego, yet still follows the oldest tradition of vinification of this grape variety. The freshest and fruity notes are enhanced, whilst always remaining noble and elegant. Refinement and elegance are timeless, they do not know fashions or eras.

Pressing with separation of the stems. Maceration of the skins with several re- montage processes over a 5-6 day period, followed by a temperature controlled fermentation at around 23-25°C. Matura- tion only in stainless steel to preserve the grapes’ typical fruit aromaticity.

The area is unique in its soil which is characterised by an alluvial soil rich in silt, very deep and well drained. Moreover, the vines are surrounded by the Dolomite mountains which guarantee a strong temperature excursion, crucial in protecting the freshness and flagrance of the rich fruity aroma of Teroldego grapes.

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.
