Morei Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2014

Wine description for Morei Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2014 from Foradori

Colour & appearance

A dense, lively purple-red colour with violet reflections presents itself in the glass. The core is almost black, while a subtle brightening towards the rim emphasises the youthfulness of this wine.

Nose

With this Morei, Elisabetta Foradori has created a Teroldego of impressive freshness. The nose is dominated by juicy sour cherry, which becomes even more intense after two days of contact with the air. Particularly fascinating is the interplay of Lilac and elderflowers, complemented by a touch of Marzipan and wild Mediterranean herbs. Beneath this fruit-accentuated surface, a mineral depth is revealed that promises complexity.

Palate

The 2014 shows its true nature on the palate: an almost cool, mineral structure meets refreshing fruit and lively acidity. The tannins are polished and fine-grained, never intrusive. With only 12.5% alcohol, the wine appears almost athletic - a rough diamond that has not yet fully tamed its youthful energy. The acidity is impetuous, almost wild, which gives the wine a beguiling freshness. Those with patience will be rewarded with even greater harmony in a few years' time.

General information

The Morei comes from Foradori's biodynamically cultivated vineyards in Trentino and represents the autochthonous Teroldego grape variety in its purest form. The 2014 vintage is characterised by its freshness and moderate alcohol levels - an alternative to concentrated, overripe wines.

Food pairing suggestions

The mineral freshness and moderate structure make the Morei a versatile food companion. It goes excellently with Crispy roast duck breast with balsamic reduction and cherry soufflé, where the cherry notes of the wine harmonise with the fruit in the dish. Also to savoury sheet cake with Parma ham, tomatoes and spinach or Polenta cod tartare with blackcurrant and cress salad he proves to be an excellent partner.

Special features

This wine benefits enormously from aeration. Be sure to decant and serve in generous glasses. Its development over several days is remarkable - a sign of quality and ageing potential. An authentic Teroldego that emphasises elegance over power.
