STORY: Castel Firmian only produces grapes from its own vineyards, which lie along the Adige Valley at the foot of the Dolomites.
-
VINIFICATION: The two grape varieties are vinified separately after the harvest. The Teroldego is fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 to 13 days, the Lagrein for 8 days. Both grape varieties mature separately for 6 months in French oak barrels before they are married to the final cuvée and rest for a further 12 months in steel tanks and then in the bottle.
-
EVALUATION: In the glass, this cuvée shimmers in a deep ruby red with violet reflections. Aromas of red currant and blueberry reveal themselves on the nose. Fine nuances of cocoa and a hint of pepper round off the taste on the palate. With its delicate texture, this medium-heavy and spicy Italian inspires right through to its long, pleasant finish.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION : Goes perfectly with game dishes, strong cheeses and hearty stews.
-
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, right down 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
