Granato Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2020

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

Colour & Appearance

Deep, dark purple-red with violet reflections and an almost black core – a wine that reveals its concentration and power even in the glass.

Nose

The Granato 2020 presents itself with impressive complexity: blackberries, elderberry and black cherries dominate, underpinned by dried plums, cloves and black pepper. Subtle juniper notes and, after aeration, the floral hints typical of Teroldego round out this multi-layered aromatic profile. A wine that deserves time in the glass and generous bowls.

Palate

On the palate, the true class of this Teroldego reveals itself: silky texture that masterfully balances full-fruited opulence with elegant finesse. The extract-rich fruit merges with aristocratic tannins, carried by a perfectly integrated acidity arc. This harmonious combination makes Granato the undisputed reference wine of the variety – already seductive now, but endowed with considerable ageing potential.

Finish

Long, spicy and with fine tannin structure that promises years of development ahead.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the Vigneti delle Dolomiti in Trentino, this wine benefits from the unique location between Alpine and Mediterranean influences. Foradori is regarded as the pioneer and undisputed master of the Teroldego grape.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Teroldego, an indigenous grape variety of Trentino. The Granato is Foradori’s flagship, vinified according to biodynamic principles with a focus on terroir expression and natural balance.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with Boeuf Stroganoff, braised pumpkin Teriyaki with shiitake, squid in black bean sauce, but also with robust game dishes, aged cheeses or beef roast.

Special Features

The Granato is Italy’s most impressive proof that Teroldego is capable of world-class wines. With a moderate 13% alcohol, it displays elegance rather than alcohol heaviness – a wine for connoisseurs with patience.
