✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the breathtaking foothills of the Italian Dolomites, Mezzacorona's 'Firmian' Pinot Noir is a tribute to the historic Castel Firmian, a medieval fortress that has watched over the Adige Valley since the 15th century. This wine captures the alpine soul of Trentino, where Pinot Nero vines thrive in gravelly, mineral-rich soils swept by cool mountain breezes and warmed by the gentle winds of Lake Garda. Crafted by the historic Mezzacorona cooperative—pioneers of Trentino viticulture since 1904—this 100% Pinot Noir undergoes careful temperature-controlled fermentation with brief skin contact to preserve its delicate aromatics, followed by a short period of refinement in oak casks. The result is a graceful red boasting bright notes of wild red berries, mountain herbs, and a whisper of forest floor, reflecting the pristine, high-altitude terroir of its origin.
