Do not miss the tastings with the producers , the meetings with the TeRoldeGo Evolution (a group founded in 2016 by young wine producers of the Piana Rotaliana to make Teroldego better known) and with ANAG (National Association of Grappa Tasters). And how not to mention the gastronomic proposals of excellence, entrusted in this case to the restaurateurs of the territory, the cocktail bar with grappa mixed in original creations, and the musical accompaniment selected for the occasion.

Event profile
The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Mezzocorona with the support of Trentino Marketing and the coordination of the Trentino Wine and Flavors Route as part of the promotion of provincial wine events called #trentinowinefest, but also with the fundamental help of numerous volunteers and the support of local institutions and sponsors.
Teroldego Rotaliano profile
Teroldego Rotaliano is an indigenous wine that grows in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, a small patch 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 different intensity depending on the aging 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.
