Trentino Terroir, Italian Soul: Discover the Elegance of Domenica Pinot Grigio.
Pinot Grigio is having a moment, though for benchmark Italian producer Mezzacorona, the grape has always been at the forefront of its mission—and this wine from their Trentino-based cellars promises to capture your attention. Introducing Domenica, single-varietal Pinot Grigio crafted from Alpine-influenced, sustainably-farmed fruit. Produced from vineyards in Italy’s Dolomites Region, this refreshing, flavor-packed wine promises to satisfy a variety of different preferences—and the proof is in the bottle.
Pinot Grigio Pioneers: 120+ Years of Tradition
One of Trentino’s most historic wine producers with roots dating back to 1904, Mezzacorona has been a driving force behind the evolution of Pinot Grigio and Italian white wine production at large. Rooted in a deep appreciation for heritage while embracing forward-thinking practices, the winery has become a pioneer in sustainable, eco-friendly winemaking, with craftsmanship and quality always placed first.
After decades of championing the Pinot Grigio variety, Mezzacorona’s deep understanding of the grape – coupled with its immense knowledge of the local terroir – inspired the team to create Domenica Trentino DOC, a testament to the winery’s premium craftsmanship. Fruit for this wine comes from the estate’s most revered plots, which are trained using the region’s signature Pergola Trentina system. This unique method creates more sun exposure for leaves, allowing grapes to remain optimally shaded and sheltered. The resulting bunches are nutrient rich and offer lower-than-average yields, resulting in smaller amounts of concentrated, high-quality fruit.
Cool-Climate Alpine Vineyards

The high-altitude location of Domenica’s vineyards also plays a crucial role in Domenica’s final flavor profile. The vineyards, which are located on the plain surrounding the Mezzocorona village, benefit from large diurnal temperature swings—warm, sunny days and cooler nights—which help to maintain acidity and natural freshness in the grapes. Additionally, the local Dolomite rocks reflect ample amounts of daily sunlight back onto the vines during the day, ensuring that phenolic ripeness is perfectly achieved.
These ideal conditions, coupled with sustainable farming methods, guarantees that the grapes for Domenica are ripe, healthy, and perfectly balanced. Domenica also holds the prestigious SQNPI certification, recognizing the sustainable quality of Pinot Grigio from Italy’s Trentino DOC. Since 2017, the entire Mezzacorona winery has maintained this sustainability certification, highlighting the brand’s commitment to eco-friendly practices in both the vineyard and the cellar.
Domenica: Italian Lifestyle in a Glass
Crafted exclusively from hand-picked fruit and vinified entirely in stainless steel, Domenica presents a radiant straw-yellow hue in the glass, opening with aromas of sweet chamomile and stone fruit. On the palate, the wine is flavor packed, smooth, and marked by ample amounts of zesty acidity, with a distinct vein of minerality pushing through on the finish. This ethereal flavor profile offers a coveted mental escape to the breathtaking landscapes of northern Italy—the very essence that gives the wine its unforgettable character.
For those wanting to bring an authentic taste of northern Italy to their next at home wine moment, Domenica makes for an excellent apéritif, though equally shines alongside a variety of fresh salads and seafood, rendering it a go-to pick for everyday meals and special celebrations alike. Simply put, do as the Italians do by enjoying the little things in life, glass of refreshing white wine in hand.
Century-Old Expertise & Quality Approach
Above all, Domenica Pinot Grigio offers a single-varietal expression of the grape that showcases Mezzacorona’s respect for time-honored tradition, along with their innovative advancements in the modern winemaking sphere. The vineyards’ ideal location in the high-altitude, cool-climate area of the Dolomites provide the optimal conditions for creating concentrated, high-quality Pinot Grigio marked by signature fruit-forward flavors and bright, refreshing acidity. Domenica solidifies Mezzacorona’s reputation as a benchmark pioneer in Italian Pinot Grigio, as well as highlights its commitment to a sustainable, eco-friendly future.
