The wine Teroldego Rotaliano Riserva from Castel Firmian Winery

The Teroldego Rotaliano Riserva from Castel Firmian Winery is a prestigious red wine produced in the Rotaliano area of Trentino and falls under the Riserva DOC designation. This wine comes from Teroldego grapes, an indigenous variety that represents one of the most important grape types in the region. With its rich and complex aromatic profile, the Teroldego Rotaliano Riserva is appreciated for its elegance and structure, making it an ideal choice for lovers of intense red wines.

The winemaking

The winemaking of Teroldego Rotaliano Riserva begins with a rigorous selection of the grapes, which are hand-harvested at the optimal moment of ripeness. After a prolonged maceration, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers, allowing the fruity aromas to remain intact; the wine ages in French oak barrels from Allier and Troncais for at least 12 months. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for an additional 12 months in the cellar before arriving at your table.

Tasting the Marzemino

With an intense ruby red colour, often displaying violet reflections, this wine offers a bouquet rich in red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by spice notes and underbrush. The wine is full-bodied and structured on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish. The freshness and minerality typical of the terroir make this wine balanced and pleasant to savour.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, such as roasts and braises, but it is also excellent with pasta dishes featuring ragù and aged cheeses; for a bolder pairing, try it with game dishes or rich stews. The versatility of Teroldego Rotaliano Riserva makes it an ideal companion for many gastronomic experiences, enhancing every meal.
