✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the dramatic, alpine-influenced landscapes of Trentino-Alto Adige, Mezzacorona's 'Firmian' red wines pay homage to the historic Castel Firmian, a medieval fortress overlooking the Adige Valley. This line represents the rich viticultural heritage of the region, typically showcasing native varieties like Teroldego Rotaliano—often called the 'prince of Trentino'—or Lagrein, alongside international grapes. Grown on gravelly alluvial soils beneath towering limestone cliffs, the grapes benefit from warm daytime sun and cool mountain breezes, preserving vibrant acidity and intense aromatics. Vinified with modern temperature-controlled fermentation and refined with gentle oak aging, these reds are celebrated for their deep ruby color, bright forest fruit aromas, wild herbs, and elegant, approachable structure.
