STORY: Castel Firmian only produces grapes from its own vineyards, which lie along the Adige Valley at the foot of the Dolomites.
-
VINIFICATION: After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and macerated with regular pumping over. The mash is then fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks for 12 to 13 days, before aging in Allier and Troncais oak barrels for 12 months and then resting in the bottle for 12 months.
-
JUDGEMENT: In the glass, the wine presents itself in a strong ruby red with a dark red core. The varietal bouquet is dominated by ripe fruit. Aromas of blueberries, red currants and raspberries unfold with spicy notes and a hint of oak wood spice. This expressive red wine convinces on the palate with a full-bodied, full and harmonious texture. The long finish is accompanied by its pleasant tannins.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION : Goes well with hearty roasts, hearty risotto dishes and mature cheeses.
-
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
