"Teroldego" 2022

750ml

Overview

Foradori "Teroldego" 2022 is a pure and vibrant expression of the native Teroldego grape, cultivated in the foothills of the Dolomites. Made using biodynamic farming and minimal intervention, this wine showcases the grape’s deep color, aromatic intensity, and lively freshness. It is both approachable in its youth and structured enough for aging, offering a compelling balance of fruit, spice, and minerality.

Vinification and Aging
