Teroldego Sgarzon 2022

750ml

Overview

Foradori’s "Sgarzon" is a pure expression of Teroldego from a unique vineyard site in the Campo Rotaliano of Trentino. "Sgarzon," meaning "shoot" in local dialect, refers to the vineyard’s dynamic, youthful character. Grown in sandy, gravel-rich soils, this Teroldego showcases freshness, elegance, and depth. The use of amphorae in vinification enhances the wine’s purity and textural complexity, making it a standout in Foradori’s portfolio.
