STORY: Castel Firmian only produces grapes from its own vineyards, which lie along the Adige Valley at the foot of the Dolomites.
-
EXPANSION: After the harvest, the grapes are macerated in the wine cellar for 8 to 10 days. The mash is then fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine ages in oak barrels for 6 to 10 months.
-
EVALUATION: This elegant, light wine is ruby red with cherry reflections in the glass. An intense, complex bouquet of eucalyptus and ripe dark fruits (elderberry, blackberry and plum) spreads out on the nose. On the palate it reveals its soft and spicy taste with lots of tannins and a nice, long finish.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION : Goes well with roasted and grilled beef, baked pork and blue cheese and hearty vegetable dishes.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 16-18 °C
The residence of Count Firmian lies at the foot of Monte di Mezzocorona. From here you can not only see the Alps, but also the vineyards of the Piana Rotaliana. The wines of Castel Firmian have found their home in the Rotaliana plateau, which is called the most beautiful vineyard in Europe. The Castel Firmian was built in 1480 and is a symbol of the Cantina Mezzacorona wine line of the same name. The wines from Castel Firmian bring the whole diversity of Trentino into the glass, an impressive landscape with a very long wine-growing tradition: characterized by high mountains, terraced areas, up to the Lake Garda plain. Each wine stands for a specific grape variety, a unique terroir, a special microclimate. Many autochthonous and international grape varieties find ideal conditions here, their 'best' place and later present themselves as excellent, typical representatives of their kind with a fresh but strong character and great balance. The range includes varietal wines, characterized by elegance, freshness and a great accessibility
