Sgarzon Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2014 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Sgarzon Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2014 1500ml Magnum by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

A wine of impressive visual intensity: dark purple, nearly impenetrable right to the rim. This colour depth already signals the concentrated power slumbering within the magnum.

Nose

The Sgarzon 2014 presents itself reserved and demanding – a wine that requires patience. Even after two days of air contact, it reveals its secrets only reluctantly. The aromatic profile is wild and earthy, characterised by blackthorn, rowan berry and elderwood. To these are added beetroot, ivy, box and a medley of wild herbs. The stony minerality permeates the entire spectrum – masculine, austere, fascinatingly complex.

Palate

On the palate, the youthful acidity remains demanding, the tannin structure taut and present. The dark berry fruit merges with the earthy notes of the nose into a dense, multi-layered flavour profile. Those who follow its development over several days will be rewarded with ever-new facets.

Finish

Long and mineral, with lingering earthiness and a stony precision that underscores the character of Teroldego.

Terroir & Origin

From Trentino, where Elisabetta Foradori sets standards with biodynamic viticulture. The Sgarzon comes from a single vineyard site whose stony soils lend the wine its distinctive minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Teroldego in pure form – an autochthonous variety that achieves extraordinary expressiveness in Foradori’s hands. The moderate alcohol content of 12.5% vol. underscores the elegance despite all the concentration. The magnum bottle provides ideal ageing conditions.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Beetroot risotto with eel, warm smoked roast beef with braised red pepper and rosemary or Robiolo on grilled green asparagus with figs and caramelised walnuts – dishes that echo the earthy complexity of the wine.

Special Features

This wine is a test of patience with outstanding ageing potential. Definitely decant, preferably several hours before drinking, and serve in generous glasses. A wine for lovers of unpolished, authentic characters.
