Dolomiten Wine, a Piece of Mountain World

Trentino-Südtirol is a region that stands out for its unique vineyards and landscapes. The Dolomites form a natural barrier here, protecting the vines from cold winds. The sandy soils, shaped by the Noce River, are ideal for the Teroldego grape. This grape variety grows in a region characterised by limestone, granite and porphyry. Wines from Trentino-Südtirol are known for their depth and elegance. The Foradori Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti Bio 2021 is an example of how nature and the winemaker Elisabetta Foradori come together.

Teroldego – the grape that connects the Dolomites

The Teroldego grape has a history that goes back deep into the past. It was cultivated in Trentino, where it was almost forgotten until the 20th century. Elisabetta Foradori brought it back to light by cultivating the grape in its original form. The vines grow today in parcels shaped by the Mezzolombardo area. The sandy soils and the Noce River create a unique base for the grapes. The Teroldego grape is known for its darkness and its ability to transport the aromas of the earth. The wine from this grape is not just a drink, but a journey through the Dolomites.

Winemaking – Between Tradition and Innovation

The Foradori Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti Bio 2021 is made with a mix of tradition and innovation. The grapes are spontaneously fermented without chemical influences. The fermentation takes place in neutral cement tanks, highlighting the natural aromas of the grapes. After that, the wine ages for 12 months in oak barrels and cement tanks. This ageing creates a balance between the fruit of the grapes and the structure of the wine. The winemaker Foradori uses low-intervention principles, meaning the wine can express its own personality. The wine is not filtered, making it lively and unaltered.

Taste – Darkness and Spiciness

The wine presents itself with a dark ruby red, announcing the depth of its aromas at first glance. In the glass, you are greeted by a bouquet that combines violets, grapefruit rinds and dark berry fruits. The aromas are lively, yet not overpowering. The palate is indulged with a silky texture supported by the tannins. The acidity is precise and creates a lively finish. The wine is not too heavy, but it has a stability that makes it a long-lasting enjoyment. The spiciness, reminiscent of licorice and chinotto lemonade, gives it an unmistakable note.

Pairing – Inspired by the Dolomites

The Foradori Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti Bio 2021 pairs well with dishes that present nature in its purest form. It harmonises particularly well with Pasta Finocchio – Papardelle with Fennel, Tomato and Olives. The aromas of the grapes complement the fresh notes of the fennel. Grilled sardines with tomato salad or lamb chops with herb butter and green pea pods are also good choices. The wine is not too strong to overpower the dishes, but it gives them a hint of darkness and spiciness. It is also ideal with matured hard cheeses from the region, which further highlight the wine.

Quality – IGT, a Sign of Diversity

The Foradori Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti Bio 2021 carries the IGT designation, meaning it not only comes from the Trentino region but also offers a variety of aromas and structures. IGT stands for „Indicazione Geografica Tipica“, which underlines the regional origin. The wine is dry, yet not drying, and its richness makes it a pleasure that can develop over years. With an ageing potential of 8 years and more, it is a wine that refines over time.
