Tasting note
- Colour & Appearance
- Deep purple-red with violet reflections and a black core – a wine that announces its concentration already in the glass.
- Nose
- Complex and multi-layered: blackberries, mulberries and elderberry meet dried plums, black pepper and juniper berries. The floral notes typical of Teroldego with hints of violets develop with air contact – decanting here is not a recommendation, but a necessity. The aromas shift kaleidoscopically and reveal the remarkable complexity of this autochthonous grape variety.
- Palate
- Powerful, yet never heavy. The Granato presents itself with silky, fine-grained tannins and a cool elegance that betrays alpine influence. The dark fruits appear bright and precise, never concentrated or jammy. A racy acidity lends the wine drive and tension, spice notes run through the mid-palate. The balance between extract-rich fruit and noble structure is masterful.
- Finish
- Majestically long with lingering violet notes and sustained freshness. The wine impresses through endurance, not power – an aftertaste that lingers for minutes.
- Terroir & Origin
- The Campo Rotaliano in Trentino is the heartland of Teroldego. On around four hectares across three vineyard sites, old pergola vines grow on alluvial soil, gravel and pebbles – a mixture of limestone, granite and porphyry deposited by the Noce river over centuries. These stony soils shape the mineral precision and concentration of the Granato.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Spontaneous fermentation in large, open vats, followed by 15 months in tonneaux and a further 15 months bottle age. Foradori works biodynamically and allows the wine time – a minimum of five years maturity is recommended for full expression.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- Venison roast with dark braising sauce, hare in blood sauce, braised eel in red wine or hearty braised dishes with wild herbs and juniper.
- Special Features
- The magnum bottle promises even better development. Only around 20,000 bottles produced annually – the undisputed reference wine for Teroldego.
