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

Colour & Appearance

Deep purple-red with violet reflections and a profound, almost black core – a visual statement of concentration and power.

Nose

The Granato 2017 presents itself with impressive stature: blackberries, elderberry and black cherries dominate, flanked by dried plums, cloves and black pepper. Subtle juniper notes add complexity. After sufficient aeration – which this young wine absolutely requires – the floral nuances typical of Teroldego unfold. A wine that deserves large glasses and rewards patience.

Palate

On the palate, one understands why Foradori is regarded as the undisputed reference for Teroldego. The silky texture masterfully balances full-fruited opulence with aristocratic elegance. Extract-rich fruit merges with noble, perfectly integrated tannins, carried by a majestic acidity arc. This magnum embodies subtle nobility – approachable with pleasure, yet with ageing potential for considerably enhanced enjoyment.

Finish

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

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT in Trentino, this Teroldego benefits from the calcareous alluvial soils of the Campo Rotaliano plain. The Dolomites create a unique microclimate with cool nights that preserve aromatic freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Teroldego, the indigenous variety of Trentino, has been cultivated biodynamically by Elisabetta Foradori since the 1980s. The Granato represents the pinnacle of her work – a wine that unites tradition and modern biodynamic philosophy.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Pairs excellently with Boeuf Stroganoff, braised pumpkin Teriyaki with shiitake, squid in black bean sauce, but also with hearty braised dishes, game or aged hard cheeses.

Special Features

The magnum bottle promises optimal ageing conditions for the next 10-15 years. Foradori is regarded as a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Italy and has brought Teroldego to international acclaim.
