Sgarzon Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2013 1500ml

Wine Description for Sgarzon Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2013 1500ml by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, bright purple-red with vibrant violet reflections.

Nose

Initially aristocratically reserved, this Teroldego demands air and patience. A cool bouquet unfolds with floral notes such as violets and mallow, underpinned by a bitter nuance of hazelnut shells and ground elder. The fruit remains precise and restrained, characterised by redcurrants and wild berries.

Palate

On the palate, the mastery of Elisabetta Foradori reveals itself. Despite forgoing acacia wood in favour of pure amphora vinification, the 2013 impresses with remarkable freshness and energy. Tart sour cherry and red berry fruits dominate the slender body, which at only 12% alcohol exudes a rare elegance.

Finish

A long, vibrant finish, carried by a lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. The mineral precision allows the wine to resonate long after.

Terroir & Origin

From the cooler vineyard sites of Campo Rotaliano in Trentino, where the Teroldego variety finds its most profound, purist expression.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Teroldego. A radically natural approach: following maceration, ageing took place exclusively in amphora (clay), which preserves the freshness and unadulterated fruit of the 2013 vintage.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with smoked chicken and turnips, braised pointed cabbage with barberries or a hearty vegetable stew with smoked sausage.

Special Features

In the 1500ml magnum bottle, this wine possesses enormous ageing potential. A wine for the patient – double decanting is strongly recommended.
