Tasting note Castel Firmian Riserva Chardonnay
An elegant and rich Chardonnay with aromas of ripe apple, peach, and tropical fruit, complemented by notes of vanilla, toast, and subtle spices. On the palate, the wine is full and creamy, yet remains perfectly balanced thanks to its fresh acidity. The oak aging adds extra complexity and length without overpowering the fruit.
Food Pairing
This Castel Firmian Chardonnay Riserva pairs well with grilled fish, shellfish, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes. Also excellent with risotto, scallops, or chicken in a creamy sauce.
Additional Information
The grapes for this Riserva come from vineyards on the slopes of the Trentino mountains, situated between approximately 200 and 500 meters in altitude. Mezzacorona combines grapes from different elevations to obtain a wine that possesses both ripeness and freshness.
The region's climate has both alpine and Mediterranean influences. Due to the differences in altitude and orientation to the sun, conditions vary greatly per vineyard, but as a rule, the grapes undergo a slow ripening process. Partly due to the cool nights, they retain many of their aromas as well as a lively acidity.
After gentle pressing, a portion of the grapes is first cold-macerated to extract additional aromas. The wine is then aged partly in wooden barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks. The portion aged in barriques also undergoes malolactic fermentation and regular battonage. This creates that beautiful combination of creaminess, complexity, and freshness.
Mezzacorona was one of the first cooperatives in Italy and today represents a large group of wine companies from the far north (Trentino) to the deep south (Sicily). The vineyards of winemaker Mezzocorona are located in Trentino and Alto Adige, the region between Verona and the Alps in Italy.
