- A very elegant traditional-method rosé from the specialist sparkling arm of Mezzacorona. With 24 months of ageing on the lees, the cuvée is a stellar example of the cool climate of Pinot Noir. This wine is produced solely from Rotari-owned vineyards in the cool Adige Valley, north of Trento. All the grapes are hand-harvested for optimal finesse in the finished wine. It is an elegant traditional-method rosé, showing the delicious red berry fruit of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
Mezzacorona was founded in 1904, one of Italy's first growers’ associations. If it was progressive, then it remains so, with a state-of-the-art winery and meticulous viticulture bringing out the full potential of its 2,400 hectares of vineyards. Those vineyards are to be found on the plains and terraces of the Dolomite foothills, stretching between Lake Garda and the Alps to the north. This is, therefore, a sizeable and varied resource, and its management by one company carries an important benefit. Each vineyard site is planted to the grape variety best suited to its particular characteristics. If the growers worked individually, they might each hedge their bets by planting a mixture of varieties, some more appropriate than others. But instead, we see optimization on a grand scale.

Winery | Alongside their exemplary still wines, Mezzacorona produces a range of sparkling wines under the Rotari brand. The wines produced under this label, however, possess a distinct identity of their own, as demonstrated by the construction of a dedicated, state-of-the-art winery where superior Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are used to craft elegant and savoury traditional method sparklers |
