Sgarzon Cilindrica Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2016 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Sgarzon Cilindrica Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2016 1500ml Magnum by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

Deep, nearly impenetrable purple, slightly hazy and intensely coloured right to the rim of the glass – a visual statement of concentration.

Nose

Wild, earthy, demanding. This Sgarzon requires patience and air. The aromatics unfold in a masculine and herbal manner: sloe, rowan berry, elderwood, along with beetroot, ivy and box. An interwoven, almost enigmatic bouquet that invites sensory discovery – not for the impatient.

Palate

Youthfully taut, with vibrant acidity and fine tannin structure. The dark berry fruit merges with earthy notes, mineral precision and delicate salinity. A sour cherry note enlivens the drinking experience. The wine develops fascinatingly over days – a rough diamond that demands time or generous decanting. Served slightly chilled, it reveals its full elegance.

Finish

Persistent, with fine herbal spice and mineral resonance. The acidity carries far, the tannins remain present yet refined.

Terroir & Origin

From the Vigneti delle Dolomiti in Trentino, where Elisabetta Foradori works with biodynamic philosophy. The Teroldego vines are rooted in the region’s characteristic alluvial soils, which impart the wine’s earthy minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Teroldego, the indigenous grape variety of Trentino, vinified according to biodynamic principles. Spontaneous fermentation, ageing in amphorae – Foradori allows the wine its natural cloudiness and forgoes fining. The result: authentic, unadorned, living. Remarkably restrained at just 12.5% alcohol.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Robiolo on grilled green asparagus with figs and caramelised walnuts, Saltimbocca of monkfish on sun-dried tomatoes with thyme gnocchi, warm smoked roast beef with braised red pepper and rosemary.

Special Features

The magnum bottle guarantees slower, more harmonious maturation. A wine for the patient and curious, exemplifying Foradori’s uncompromising natural wine philosophy. A fascinating experience now, with further ageing potential.
