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

The grapes for Mezzacorona FiloBianco are grown in the Cembra Valley, a windy, open valley carved by a river connecting Val di Fiemme to the Adige Valley. Its terraced vineyards are cultivated with the traditional «Pergola Trentina» method. The soil is made up of unique red porphyry stone.

The wine’s name alludes to a thin but sturdy thread (“FiloBianco”) that links its mineral strength to a floral and elegant palate.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in late September, cold maceration of 5-8 hours follows and then they are pressed. The must, after natural cold settling, is fermented at low temperatures.

Ageing

After fermentation the Mezzacorona FiloBianco is fined, stabilised and allowed to rest for a few months before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Its aromatic profile recalls the minerality of the limestone and porphyry rocks of the area, with notes of flint, sage and nettle well blended with the citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit. Mezzacorona FiloBianco is fragrant, crisp and fruity, distinguished by an elegant minerality, strong aromas and a delicate, balsamic finish.
