Foradori Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Teroldego "Il Foradori" 2022
The name Foradori and that of Teroldego, the principal native grape of the Trentino (Dolomite) region, are practically synonymous. First released in 1960, this flagship wine is made of fruit from old, unirrigated vines planted in 9 ha on the famed Campo Rotaliano plain.
The grapes (30% whole bunches) are fermented in cement and aged for 12 months, half in cement and half in old (neutral) large format Slavonian oak casks.
A wine displaying luscious dark black cherry fruit, quinine and black pepper with a purity and energy as beautiful as the family who makes it.
Fun fact: Teroldego is one of Italy’s most ancient grapes and is an uncle/aunt of Syrah and a grandchild of Pinot!
