What is unique about this area is the combination of a Mediterranean microclimate with the cooling influence of the mountains. This results in a slower ripening process, allowing the Merlot grape to develop not only its characteristic soft fruit but also a remarkable elegance and freshness rarely found in warmer regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mezzacorona\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003ewinery Mezzacorona\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: muli,sans-serif\"\u003e was one of the first cooperatives in Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: muli,sans-serif\"\u003e and today represents a large group of wineries from the far north (Trentino) to the deep south (Sicily).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e: In the cellar, a traditional vinification with a short maceration on the skins is chosen. This process extracts the deep red color and the velvety tannins from the grape, without making the wine rough. The result is a 'cool climate' Merlot: lighter in style, juicier, and with a focus on pure red fruit instead of heavy oak notes or a high alcohol percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mezzacorona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944366903621,"sku":"28029","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/0075759dcd42ddd1e872cc8707b161e5d3824e9a.jpg?v=1787299882","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/terre-del-noce-merlot","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
