WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio Riserva 2022 is crafted using a dual approach to fermentation and aging. Sixty percent of the wine is fermented and aged in small oak barrels, while the remaining forty percent is fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine undergoes several months of aging in oak barrels. This method is designed to impart complexity and a refined body, distinguishing it as a 'Riserva' bottling. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in Trentino, an area known for its favorable climate for grape cultivation.
