Mezzacorona
Gruppo Mezzacorona is located in Trento’s Piana Rotaliana, near the town of Mezzocorona. The Group includes Cantine Mezzacorona, the parent company, Cantine Rotari, which produces Trento DOC Metodo Classico sparkling wines, and Feudo Arancio, based in Sambuca di Sicilia. Founded in 1904, Gruppo Mezzacorona boasts 1,600 members and 2,800 hectares of vineyards in Trentino-Alto Adige’s finest grape-growing areas. Mezzacorona is the largest Italian producer of Teroldego Rotaliano and produced the very first bottle of this wine back in 1971. It is also the foremost Italian producer of Lagrein, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer. Mezzacorona agronomists contributed to the first experiments and to the spread of the practice of sexual confusion, which is now widely used in integrated pest management to eradicate insects harmful to vines without the use of pesticides. The winery's current headquarters, the “Cittadella del Vino”, was completed in August 2004 to a design by architect Alberto Cecchetto. The design of its "wave" roof echoes the succession of vineyards cultivated with pergolas.
Description
With a radiant straw-yellow hue, Mezzacorona Chardonnay Coveli captivates the eye with its brilliance. Delicately perfumed, it offers a bouquet that enchants the senses with subtle whispers of white fruits and the soft embrace of chamomile blossoms. Upon tasting, its elegance unfolds gracefully on the palate, revealing a refreshing and persistent character with elegant hints of apricot, green apple and citrus. The finish is lingering, leaving a lasting impression of refinement and satisfaction.
Food Pairing
Mezzacorona Chardonnay Coveli is a versatile companion that enhances a variety of culinary delights. It harmonizes beautifully with appetizers (try it with rice and olive balls: incredibly easy to make and excellent snacks for tantalizing any guests' taste buds), accentuating their flavours with its own subtle nuances. It pairs to perfection with delicate fish dishes, succulent white meats, or vibrant Mediterranean salads.
