Exhibition of Teroldego Rotaliano

An event worthy of the first varietal DOC, which will bring together winelovers and experts in Mezzocorona (TN) to taste the many interpretations of the native Trentino red and - new this year - the preview of the 2022 vintage. Masterclasses and tastings at Palazzo Martini, but also opportunities to get to know the area and its gastronomic specialities.

It will be a weekend to be experienced, the one that from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 May will bring together winelovers and enthusiasts on the occasion of the 32nd edition of the "Mostra del Teroldego Rotaliano" .

Three days dedicated to the "prince of Trentino wines", organized by the Pro Loco di Mezzocorona with the support of Trentino Marketing, the coordination of the Trentino Wine and Flavors Route - as part of the promotion of the provincial wine initiatives called #trentinowinefest - and the collaboration of Consorzio Vini del Trentino and Consorzio Turistico Piana Rotaliana Königsberg.

The history of Teroldego is intimately linked to the Piana Rotaliana , the only production area, north of Trento, where its presence has been documented since the 1300s . The first DOC recognized in the province in 1971 with the appellation "Rotaliano" , today it is one of the symbolic wines of Trentino . With a purplish red colour, defined as "dragon's blood" - a reference to the story of the Basilisk, a frightening animal that tyrannized the Piana Rotaliana from whose drops of blood, according to legend, the first strains of this variety germinated - it is a wine with an unmistakable aroma of wild blackberry with notes of blueberry, raspberry and violet.

The location chosen for the long-awaited event is reconfirmed in Mezzocorona , a town in the Piana Rotaliana north of the capital, in the suggestive courtyard of the seventeenth-century Palazzo Martini . As per tradition, the event will offer exclusive masterclasses and guided tastings . And there will be the opportunity to freely taste the many interpretations of Teroldego proposed for the occasion.

The big news is the preview of the 2022 vintage both with tasting of the already bottled productions and with the opportunity to taste the barrels of those destined to become reserves.

The free evening tastings will be accompanied by live music and culinary proposals signed by local restaurants . Quality food&beverage will also be the protagonists of the Sunday lunch, which will accompany the closing of the event in the late afternoon.

As always, the "Mostra del Teroldego" also represents an unmissable opportunity to get to know the area up close, including guided bicycle tours along the Giro del Vino 50 , organized by the Piana Rotaliana Königsberg Tourist Consortium (details on www.pianarotaliana.it), and the Taste Experiences of the Trentino Wine and Flavors Route , on foot, by bike or by train (details on www.tastetrentino.it).

Teroldego Rotaliano

Teroldego Rotaliano is a native wine that grows in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, a handkerchief of land north of Trento that extends for 450 hectares between Mezzocorona, Mezzolombardo and San Michele all'Adige. It is an important wine with an unmistakable class, which has always been defined as the "prince of Trentino wines". With an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections, of varying intensity depending on the maturation of the wine, it has a very fruity aroma that recalls very ripe berries such as blackberry, blueberry and raspberry. The taste is as fine as it is powerful, slightly tannic, mineral and lively, the flavor is dry, savory and with a perfect balance between pleasantness and concentration.
