Teroldego

Italy is home to more than 500 indigenous grape varieties, including Teroldego, a native red grape of northern Italy grown in the Alpine foothills and up in the Dolomite Alps, where cooler temperatures help preserve acidity while allowing for full ripeness. Deeply purple in color, Foradori crafts Teroldego wines defined by bright acidity, complex dark fruit, and pronounced minerality – markers I consistently look for in reds from the Dolomites. The estate places strong emphasis on biodiversity in the vineyard and sustainable practices in the cellar, ensuring its family-owned traditions remain vibrant for future generations. 91 Vince Simmon

Contemporary and fine, vinous and fragrant, this is focused on dark fruit and fresh roses with leather and meaty depth. There is a hidden complexity that slowly reveals itself. Supple on the medium-bodied palate, this has moderate acidity and ripe, elegant tannins with slightly peppery flavors. Fruity and superjuicy with a savory aftertaste. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
