"Lezèr" Vignetti delle Dolomiti IGT 2023

750ml

Overview

Foradori "Lezèr" 2023 is a light, vibrant expression of Teroldego, designed as an easy-drinking yet characterful red. Inspired by an experimental approach following a difficult vintage, "Lezèr" (meaning "light" in Trentino dialect) is made with minimal extraction and a short maceration, resulting in a fresh, juicy wine with lively acidity and an energetic personality.

Vinification and Aging

• Fermentation: Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in a mix of amphorae, cement tanks, and neutral wood.
• Maceration: Short skin contact (varies by batch) to maintain a delicate, fruit-driven profile.
• Aging: Aged for a few months in amphorae, cement, and large oak casks to preserve its bright freshness.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Light ruby red with a translucent hue.
• Aroma: Bursting with aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, red currants, and floral notes of violets and rose petals.
• Palate: Light-bodied with zippy acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of fresh red berries, pomegranate, and a touch of spice.
• Finish: Refreshing and slightly savory, with a mineral lift.

Food Pairing

This versatile red pairs well with charcuterie, grilled vegetables, light pasta dishes, fresh cheeses, and even seafood-based preparations.

Serving Recommendations

• Serving Temperature: 12–14°C (54–57°F), slightly chilled for maximum freshness.
• Decanting: Not necessary; enjoy straight from the bottle.
