Granato Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2020 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Granato Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2020 1500ml Magnum by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, bright ruby red with violet reflections – no sign of overripeness or concentration, but rather of alpine freshness and precision.

Nose

Fascinatingly complex: dark cherry and blackberry meet violet floral notes, behind which clove, black pepper and a fine herbal spice emerge. The aromatics remain consistently cool and restrained in their elegance, never intrusive.

Palate

Here the Granato reveals its true greatness: powerful, yet never heavy. The fine-grained tannin structures the wine with aristocratic nobility, whilst a racy acidity provides tension and drive. The fruit presents itself bright and transparent – red berries, sour cherry – underpinned by mineral notes and that cool elegance which characterises Elisabetta Foradori’s biodynamic philosophy. Nothing is excessive, everything in perfect balance.

Finish

Long, precise and marked by floral violet tones. The spice notes linger, the tannin remains fine-meshed and silky. A finale that lives from finesse and endurance, not from power.

Terroir & Origin

The foothills of the Dolomites in Trentino fundamentally shape this wine. The Campo Rotaliano plain with its calcareous alluvial soils and the alpine climate impart to the Teroldego that cool elegance and minerality which clearly distinguishes it from more southerly interpretations.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Teroldego, the indigenous grape variety of Trentino, is cultivated biodynamically at Foradori and aged in large wooden casks. Spontaneous fermentation and minimal intervention allow the terroir to speak. The magnum bottle guarantees optimal ageing conditions.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Venison ragout, venison loin with lingonberries, braised beef roulade, ossobuco, aged alpine cheese or game pâté. The wine tolerates robust flavours without dominating them.

Special Features

Elisabetta Foradori is regarded as a pioneer of biodynamic winemaking in Italy. Her Granato is the pinnacle of the Teroldego pyramid – a wine that prioritises endurance over opulence and proves that great Italian red wines need not come from Tuscany.
