The Castel Firmian Chardonnay Riserva is a delicious, rich, oak-aged Chardonnay. The wine has an aroma characteristic of Chardonnay, with plenty of ripe yellow fruit, peach, pineapple, Galia melon, and apricot. So, also something buttery and oily. A generous mouthfeel, flavorful and soft. Savory, with freshness, juiciness, and a slight (typically Italian) almond bitterness in the finish. A pure Chardonnay like this is wonderful to drink on its own. Pure enjoyment. But… with its flavorful character, it is also a quintessential food wine. With crab cakes, avocado with tuna, salmon with lemon, chicken kiev (with a buttery parsley sauce), grilled prawns, fried chicken thigh, Caesar salad.
Castel Firmian is a brand wine from the top cooperative MezzaCorona. It has existed since 1904 and is one of the very first cooperatives in Italy. Today, the name MezzaCorona represents a group of wine companies stretching from the far north to the deep south of Italy. Nevertheless, when one says MezzaCorona, one immediately thinks of Trentino. And vice versa. MezzaCorona controls some 2,400 hectares of vineyards there and in the adjacent Alto Adige. Trentino is located in northern Italy between Verona and the Alps, where viticulture is concentrated in the Adige valley. Characteristic of the region is a fairly varied planting, with the most famous grape being the immensely popular Pinot Grigio. Naturally, the MezzaCorona range includes a number of different styles of Pinot Grigio, and in reds, it mainly consists of special regional specialties such as Lagrein and Teroldego Rotaliano.
