Mezzacorona Castel Firmian Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Fresh, invigorating nose of cut grass, elderflower and currant leaf leads to a dry, citrussy, but still quite rounded palate. This roundness alongside a delicately mineral finish is typical Trentino - this is an excellent marriage of grape variety and location.
Each variety used for Castel Firmian is planted on sites with a particular affinity to it - in this case the hills running along the Adige river, where the high temperature variation ensures excellent aromatics.
Following a brief period of skin contact, the wine was fermented at 16-18ºC in temperature-controlled tanks.
