Mezzacorona
is surrounded by
a
region rich in natural beauty, castles, history
and tradition. Mountain peaks of the Dolomites
alternate with plains and natural terraces,
where vines have been cultivated forever.
Here Mezzacorona
cultivates it’s very own vineyards using the
traditional
“pergola”
growing system and the
modern, international
“espalier”
system.
The
“pergola” growing system comes from the
tradition of producing
high-quality,
manually worked
vineyards, where man is the main actor.
This gives
the villages in the countryside
their
characteristic and
highly-recognizable
structure,
reminiscent of a wave.
The “espalier”
growing system, however, is oriented towards a
type of production where
mechanization
is key. Well-organized, precise and minimalist,
it makes the territory look extremely essential.
The particularly
varied composition of terrain and the various
climatic areas, from Sub-Mediterranean to
Alpine
have allowed the various grape varieties to find
their ideal habitat and to reveal the best of
their very own
natural
characteristics.
Mezzacorona
cultivates each variety only in the areas where
they grow best:
Teroldego in the Piana Rotaliana, Pinot Grigio
and Chardonnay along the Valle
dell’Adige
and Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon near Garda
Lake.
The
climate and territory give rise to elegant,
aromatic and balanced
wines.
