Nos
Teroldego Rotaliano
DOC Riserva
NOS, exemplifying the pinnacle of Mezzacorona quality, is
produced in limited volumes and only in the best vintages
from manually harvested grapes which derive from the finest
vineyards in the traditional “Teroldego DOC” area, the “Piana
Rotaliana”.
VARIETAL PROFILE
At the foothills of the Dolomites, in the "Piana Rotaliana"
HARVESTING
After initial fermentation in small steel tanks, NOS undergoes
refinement of 2 years in carefully selected barriques followed
by another year in large oak casks. After bottling the wine is
left to age for 12 more months to reach absolute perfection.
WINE STYLE
The wine offers a deep ruby red colour with shiny, vibrant
violet reflections. The fragrance is intense and pleasantly
fruity with the invigorating aromas of wild black fruit,
particularly notes of blackberries, blueberries and
blackcurrants. Slight hints of black truffle and leather with
nuances of vanilla and spicy oak further complement the
bouquet.The wine displays a wide range of rich and hearty
flavours. It is dry, well-balanced and full-bodied with the
typical light taste of almonds. The big velvety tannins are
intriguing and consist of a firm and compact framework
leaving a gorgeous finish.
