PRODUCER
Mezzacorona is a driving force behind the quality of Trentino wines with a state-of-the-art winery handling estate-grown fruit from the company’s extensive vineyard holdings in the heart of the Dolomites. The fifteenth- century Castel Firmian overlooks the Rotaliano plain in Trentino, and the wines named after it also give an overview of the region, with both international and local varieties on offer, all crisp and expressive.
VINEYARD
Cabernet Sauvignon was introduced to Trentino at the end of the last century and has demonstrated a particular affinity to the region. The fruit for this wine comes exclusively from Mezzacorona’s vineyards in the Arco area north of Lake Garda, an area especially well suited to cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon.
WINERY
The wine underwent traditional red vinification with maceration on the skins for a period of eight to ten days, followed by temperature controlled fermentation. The wine was aged in French oak barriques for six to eight months.
