2024 Foradori Teroldego

Foradori's core red wine, first bottled by Elisabetta's parents in 1960, made from the indigenous Teroldego grape. Sourced from 9 hectares of estate vines planted between 1956 and 2005 on the flat, sunny, well-drained Campo Rotaliano plateau. The soils comprise alluvial sand and gravel with Dolomitic limestone. Older vines are trained traditionally in pergola, while younger plantings use guyot on wires. The 15 separate parcels are hand-harvested and vinified individually. The Teroldego grape is related to Syrah, delivering a midweight wine marked by Dolomite-driven freshness and notable minerality.
