✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled beneath the towering Dolomite cliffs of Trentino, the Firmian Riserva line by Mezzacorona pays homage to the historic 15th-century Castel Firmian that overlooks the Campo Rotaliano plain. This red Riserva, typically highlighting the region's signature native Teroldego Rotaliano or robust international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, showcases the dramatic alpine terroir of the Adige Valley. The grapes are cultivated on stony, well-drained alluvial soils and benefit from the cooling mountain breezes and intense alpine sunshine. Following traditional fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 to 24 months, resulting in a structured red characterized by deep forest fruit aromas, balsamic undertones, and a refined, velvety finish that honors Trentino's centuries-old winemaking heritage.
