Description
Teroldego Rotaliano Foradori is a prestigious red wine produced in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, in northern Italy. The wine's name comes from the Teroldego grape variety, native to the area, and the Campo Rotaliano, a flat area located between the mountains of Trentino. The Campo Rotaliano territory is unique: it is an alluvial plain, formed by deposits from rivers and streams descending from the surrounding mountains. This has created particularly fertile soil, rich in gravel, sand, and clay, ideal for vine cultivation. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, but moderated by the presence of rivers and alpine lakes. The Foradori vineyards are cultivated following biodynamic principles, a form of agriculture that respects and enhances the vineyard ecosystem, without the use of chemicals. The Teroldego vines are trained using the Trentino pergola system, which allows for high-quality grapes. The production of Teroldego Rotaliano Foradori begins with the harvest, which usually takes place at the end of September. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. This is followed by fermentation, which takes place in large oak vats, where the must remains in contact with the skins for about two weeks. This process allows for the extraction of the colors and tannins that characterize the wine. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to oak barrels, where it undergoes aging. This phase lasts about a year, and during this period, the wine acquires complexity and harmony. Finally, the wine is bottled and left to rest for a few months before being marketed. Teroldego Rotaliano Foradori is a wine of great structure and intensity, with a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and wood notes. On the palate, it is full, round, with soft tannins and a long, persistent finish. It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
