Fatty fish, white meat, asian food and Alsace’s Munster cheese taste great with this wine.

Elegant, fragrant Gewürztraminer may require getting used to, but it’s adorable. When the Gewürztraminer grapes are fully matured, their sugar content increases rapidly and their acidity decreases. The result is easily a deliciously aromatic, but sweet, lazy wine with too high alcohol content. The exceptional circumstances at the foothills of the Alps in Alto Adige, where cool nights increase acidity and sunny days increase the ripeness of the grapes, enable a delicious Gewürztraminer. Dry, pure and stunningly aromatic, it represents the best of its kind.

Dry, with medium acidity, ripe notes of citrus, notes of lychee plum, rosy, lightly spicy

Producer story

"Mezzacorona is a cooperative located in Trentino Alto Adige. It was established back in 1904 when 11 founding members joined forces. The company is renowned for its efficient production of high-quality wines. Currently, it boasts over 1,500 farmer members managing vineyards covering a total of approximately 2,800 hectares. The region's geographical position plays a pivotal role in viticulture: the soil, altitude, Mediterranean climate, and the presence of the Alps create various microclimates and vineyards, providing optimal conditions for several grape varieties. Among the most cultivated are Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.

Mezzacorona's agronomists assist farmers in selecting the most suitable grape varieties for each vineyard and soil type. The company's operations are based on sustainable development practices. Nearly all waste is recycled, and between 2015 and 2019, the amount of waste produced decreased by up to 56%. About 70% of the wine cellars are located underground, maintaining ideal temperature and humidity without mechanical regulation. A significant portion of the electricity is generated by solar panels, and local suppliers are supported in procurement. Mezzacorona obtained the sustainable development SQNPI certification in 2016."
