Profile & Story
The red grapes that grow on the granite soils of the hillsides in the Dolomite area require an exercise of patience. These are soils that produce grapes with a unique aromatic profile, such as Teroldego, Marzemino and Merlot, soils born from the decomposition of the cliffs overhanging the narrow mountain valleys and from the alluvial deposits of the glaciers and the omnipresent river Adige. Thanks to its truly unique geography, our valley acts like a "solar accumulator" in summer. The amount of reflected light is such that the valley retains a pleasant warmth even though, due to the high mountains that surround it, the hours of sunshine start later in the morning and finish earlier in the evening. And this radiant heat contributes to the ripening of our grapes
Tasting Notes
Mezzacorona Red Blend expresses the aromatic richness of two noble varietals of the Dolomites, Teroldego and Marzemino combined with the international varietal, Merlot, for elegance and softness. Teroldego with its profound flavors of red currants, blackberry, and blueberry, provides a full-bodied structure. The Marzemino brings a pleasant juicy character that creates a soft, velvety, palate pleasing wine. The Red Blend is balanced with the addition of Merlot to add aromatic notes of vanilla and cocoa.
Pairing Recommendation
This wine is the ideal pairing for hearty appetizers and spicy cuisine, as well as savory sauces, baked pastas, and grilled or roasted meats.
