Alcohol: 12.5 %
Grape(s): Teroldego with Schiava, Lagrein and Merlot
Location: Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT, Trentino, Italy
Tasting Notes: A light, fresh and chillable red with bright red berries, violets and a hint of smoke. Juicy and lifted on the palate, fresh from start to finish.
Notes: Fruit comes from about 8 hectares of sandy, gravelly alluvial soils in the Dolomites. A short maceration is followed by brief aging in cement, steel, old wood and amphora. Biodynamic farming.
Food Pairing: Charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, pizza and soft cheeses. Lovely lightly chilled.
Winery Story: Foradori is the Trentino estate of Elisabetta Foradori, the producer who rescued Teroldego from obscurity. Farmed biodynamically in the Campo Rotaliano, the estate makes some of Italy's most admired and site-expressive Teroldego.
