Granato Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2017 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Granato Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2017 1500ml Magnum by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

Deep, almost impenetrable purple-red with violet reflections and a black core – a wine that announces its concentration and power at first glance.

Nose

Imposing, multi-layered bouquet of dark blackberries, black cherries and elderberries, underpinned by dried plums. With increasing aeration – which this wine absolutely requires – cloves, black pepper and juniper unfold. The floral notes characteristic of Teroldego reveal themselves discreetly, almost shyly, yet with precision. An aromatic complexity that deserves patience and generous glasses.

Palate

Here Granato displays its true class: silky texture, fully ripe fruit richness and yet a remarkable elegance rarely found at this level of concentration. The aristocratic tannins are perfectly integrated, the acidity carries the extract-rich body with majestic lightness. This balance between opulent power and fine finesse is simply impressive – Teroldego at its finest.

Finish

Long, spicy and characterised by noble structure. The dark fruit lingers, accompanied by fine spice notes and a mineral freshness.

Terroir & Origin

From the Vigneti delle Dolomiti in Trentino, where Elisabetta Foradori takes the indigenous Teroldego variety to absolute excellence through biodynamic viticulture. The alpine climate and limestone soils give the wine its characteristic freshness and minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Teroldego, spontaneously fermented and aged in large wooden casks. Foradori forgoes new barriques to avoid masking the purity of the fruit and terroir expression. The result: a wine of extraordinary authenticity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Beef Stroganoff, braised pumpkin with teriyaki and shiitake mushrooms, squid in black bean sauce, robust braised dishes, aged hard cheese.

Special Features

The magnum bottle promises optimal ageing conditions. Although already approachable, a further 5-10 years of cellar ageing is recommended for maximum development. A flagship wine that has earned Teroldego international respect.
