2024 Foradori Lezer Teroldego
Lezèr is a red wine produced by Elisabetta Foradori from grapes grown in Trentino on sandy, gravelly alluvial soils typical of the Dolomitic terroir. The wine is primarily composed of Teroldego (approximately 70%) complemented by Schiava (15%), Lagrein (10%), and Merlot (5%). Though the style was conceived during the challenging 2017 vintage using salvage fruit, this 2024 vintage continues the experimental approach with short maceration and varied vessel fermentations. The 8‐hectare estate features vines averaging 30 years of age and employs the traditional Trentino pergola training system.

Farming
Harvest
Grapes undergo a brief maceration (no more than 24 hours), with some batches incorporating whole bunches to preserve liveliness and finesse.
Fermentation
Both spontaneous processes using indigenous/natural yeasts and controlled fermentations in stainless steel are employed. Vinification trials are conducted in a range of vessels—including amphorae, cement tanks, concrete, steel, old wood, terra cotta tinajas, and large barriques—often following a vinificazione a mosaico approach.
Aging
Refinement lasts approximately 4 months, primarily in cement tanks but also in amphorae, steel, and wood. Limited fining, clarification, and filtration are applied to preserve texture and clarity.
