Tasting Notes

This Merlot is characterised by its vibrant garnet-red colour and an intense fragrance of ripe, dark fruits like blackberries and plums, complemented by a subtle touch of oak. The bouquet of aromas is rich and inviting, creating a multisensory experience that lingers on the nose.

On the palate, the wine is dry, with a complex structure and well-integrated tannins.

The wine's finish is smooth and lasting, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a well-rounded and sophisticated Merlot.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The Merlot grapes used for the Mezzacorona Castel Firmian are sourced from the cool-climate vineyards near Lake Garda, where the terroir lends itself perfectly to the cultivation of high-quality Merlot. The wine undergoes a short maturation process in oak barrels for 6-8 months, which imparts subtle oak nuances that enhance its complexity and structure without overpowering the fruit character.
