ORGANICALLY & BIODYNAMICALLY FARMED
More approachable in its youth than the old-style Teroldegos, this spicy, mineral, dark-red-fruited red is the calling card wine from Elisabetta Foradori. The classic growing area is in the Rotaliano plain, nestled between dramatic mountains in the Adige Valley of Trentino. It's fermented in cement, then aged in a combination of larger oak barrels and cement.
JAMES SUCKLING 96 POINTS - "Contemporary and fine, vinous and fragrant, this is focused on dark fruit and fresh roses with leather and meaty depth. There is a hidden complexity that slowly reveals itself. Supple on the medium-bodied palate, this has moderate acidity and ripe, elegant tannins with slightly peppery flavors. Fruity and superjuicy with a savory aftertaste. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold."
"The woodsy 2023 Teroldego lifts from the glass with a pretty mix of crushed wild berries, geranium and wet stone. This is juicy and energetic in style, with tart red berry fruits that add tactile grip. The 2023 finishes admirably long with a slight tannic tug and a floral lift. This vintage may not be the longest-lived of Foradori’s Teroldegos, but it will certainly provide a lot of pleasure in the near term. " - Eric Guido, VINOUS MEDIA
Antonio Galloni of his publication “Vinous” writes of Elisabetta Foradori: “I was deeply struck with the wines I tasted at Foradori a few months ago. The winery is stripped down to the bare essentials, with terra cotta amphoras playing a greater role than in the past. Elisabetta Foradori is able to coax remarkable finesse from her Teroldego, the red grape that is native to this part of Trentino. The entry-level Foradori (previously labeled Teroldego Rotaliano) is fabulous and a great introduction to the estate... Readers should do whatever they can to check out these magnificent wines.”
Spontaneous fermentation with some whole clusters, minimal sulfites added after fermentation.
