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.

Geography
Farming
Harvest
Hand-harvested from 15 different parcels and vinified separately; bunches are partially destemmed with some whole clusters left intact (varies by vintage)
Fermentation
Uncrushed berries and whole clusters are layered in cement tanks where they ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and no sulfur added during fermentation
Aging
Aged for around a year in well-worn, 20-40-hectoliter botti and used foudres, and in cement tanks; bottled without fining or filtration with a small dose of sulfur added at bottling (40-50mg/l); in warm vintages with low pH, sulfur may be added after malolactic fermentation
