About the Producer

Gruppo Mezzacorona is located in Trento’s Piana Rotaliana, near the town of Mezzocorona. The Group includes Cantine Mezzacorona, the parent company, Cantine Rotari, which produces Trento DOC Metodo Classico sparkling wines, and Feudo Arancio, based in Sambuca di Sicilia.

Founded in 1904, Gruppo Mezzacorona boasts 1,600 members and 2,800 hectares of vineyards in Trentino-Alto Adige’s finest grape-growing areas.

Mezzacorona is the largest Italian producer of Teroldego Rotaliano and produced the very first bottle of this wine back in 1971. It is also the foremost Italian producer of Lagrein, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer.

Mezzacorona agronomists contributed to the first experiments and to the spread of the practice of sexual confusion, which is now widely used in integrated pest management to eradicate insects harmful to vines without the use of pesticides.

The winery's current headquarters, the “Cittadella del Vino”, was completed in August 2004 to a design by architect Alberto Cecchetto. The design of its "wave" roof echoes the succession of vineyards cultivated with pergolas.

Wine Spectator has listed Mezzacorona as one of Italy's 100 best wineries.

Vineyard

Vineyards located at various altitudes and with different exposures on the mid to high hills of Faedo and the Cembra Valley in Trentino, yield a superior selection of grapes for this wine.

Vinification

The September-harvested grapes undergo cold soaking to enhance aroma extraction before gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs using selected yeasts, partly in stainless steel vats and partly in lightly toasted French oak barriques.

Ageing

The wines age in both wood and steel, with the barrel-matured wine also undergoing malolactic fermentation and receiving repeated “batonnage” (lees stirring) to re-suspend the fermentation lees. Finally, the wine is bottle-aged.

Tasting Notes

Intense yellow with golden hues. The bouquet tantalizes with maturity and complexity, offering a medley of aromatic herbs and ripe fruits, including melon and white-pulp fruits. Subtle nuances of vanilla and dried fruits, a testament to its time in wood aging, further enrich the aroma. On the palate, Mezzacorona Chardonnay Riserva showcases the characteristic structure and viscosity of its variety. The fragrant finish, a result of the steel-aged component, ensures the preservation of the Dolomitic Chardonnay's fresh and mineral character, leaving a memorable impression.
