Mezzacorona Red Blend expresses the aromatic richness of two noble varietals of the Dolomites, Teroldego and Marzemino, combined with an international varietal, Merlot, for elegance and softness. Teroldego, with its profound flavors of red currants, blackberry, and blueberry, provides a full-bodied structure. Marzemino brings a pleasant juicy character that creates a soft, velvety, palate pleasing wine. The Red Blend is balanced with the addition of Merlot to add aromatic notes of vanilla and cocoa.
The Teroldego & Marzemino are vinified in the classic red winemaking style at 75-85°F for about two weeks with the addition of selected yeasts. Then Teroldego and Merlot are matured in French oak barrels (lightly roasted, 3-years old).
This wine is the ideal pairing for hearty appetizers and spicy cuisine, as well as savory sauces, baked pastas, and grilled or roasted meats.
