This Pinot Grigio Riserva is made from grapes grown in the vineyards of one of the most classic and suitable areas for this variety: "Zablani."

The result is an elegant and refined wine with complex aromas.

The vinification process of Castel Firmian Riserva Pinot Grigio

Mezzacorona is an Italian wine cooperative in the heart of Trentino. Near the Dolomites, they have access to beautiful vineyards. The location, combined with the excellent temperatures, mountain breezes, microclimate, and mountainous terroir, creates the ideal recipe for high-quality wines. White wines, red wines, Gewürztraminer, and many indigenous varieties flourish in the well-maintained vineyards of the cooperative members. All members focus on sustainability and avoid pesticides. The work is carried out by hand as much as possible to produce the finest wines. Castel Firmian is a wine series that reflects Mezzacorona's pride. It is a highly popular wine series enjoyed worldwide. When the Pinot Grigio grapes reach peak ripeness, they are harvested by hand and transported to the winery within hours. Here, they are rigorously selected and pressed immediately. Alcoholic fermentation follows at a controlled temperature, which can take between 12 and 15 days. Forty percent of the must is fermented in stainless steel, and the remaining 60 percent in barriques. After fermentation, the wine remains in barriques for another six to eight months. After this, the wines are blended and allowed to rest for a few more months.

The aroma and taste of Castel Firmian Riserva Pinot Grigio

The nose of this Pinot Grigio is complex, with notes of white peach, pear, chamomile, and sweet aromas thanks to its oak aging. On the palate, it's a harmonious wine. Elegant and refined, with a fresh and aromatic finish. An ideal wine to pair with appetizers or white meat dishes.
