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

Colour & Appearance

Deep purple red with an almost black core and shimmering violet reflections.

Nose

An expansive, dark-fruited opening: intensive notes of mulberries, blueberries and fresh mallows combine with elegant violets and a hint of dark bittersweet chocolate to create a multi-layered aromatic display.

Palate

On the palate, the wine appears juicy, open-hearted and full of power. The generous dark fruit meets dense, close-knit tannins with fantastic grip, reminiscent of the finest sandpaper. A ripe, vibrant acidity provides structure and a racing drinking flow.

Finish

The finish is fruit-driven, long and marked by noble nuances of dark bittersweet chocolate.

Terroir & Origin

The 2.5-hectare single vineyard site Morei is located in the Campo Rotaliano in Trentino. The name derives from the dialect word “moro” (dark). The terroir is characterized by pebbly, alluvial sand and silt soils from the Noce river, which carries mineral sediment of limestone, porphyry and granite from the Dolomites into the valley.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Crafted from 100% Teroldego. The wine ferments and matures for over eight months together with the skins in Spanish clay amphorae (Tinajas from Villarrobledo). Through Demeter-certified biodynamic cultivation, the grape variety finds its very own identity.

Food Pairings

Excellent with fermented red cabbage soup with a watercress, orange and walnut salad, a juicy tuna steak with red wine butter and Trevisano, or classic braised rabbit in red wine with tarragon and mushrooms.

Key Features

The magnum bottle offers perfect ageing potential for this biodynamic terroir wine. Vinification in clay amphorae allows the grape to breathe without any supporting oak influence, bringing out the unadulterated rocky minerality of the Dolomites.
