Winemaker Notes

This is the core red of Foradori: the first and only one to be bottled back in 1960 and still the largest production, from 10 hectares of vines planted from 1956 to 2005 on the flat, sunny, well-drained Camp Rotaliano plateau on sandy, Dolomitic limestone soils. Some of the vines are still pergola-trained, while newer plantings are on wires in the Guyot style; the farming is certified-biodynamic (as for all of their vineyards). The fruit is harvested by hand, destemmed with some whole clusters left intact (varies by vintage) and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and with no sulfur (until racking and bottling). Aging takes place in cement tanks and used foudres of 20-40 hectoliters for about a year.

Blend: 100% Teroldego

    There’s a pretty herbal and mentholated freshness that greets the senses as the 2019 Teroldego opens in the glass. Further coaxing brings forward bright strawberry and cherry, along with rosy florals and crushed stone. It’s soft-textured yet potent, with tart red berries and mineral underpinnings propelled by juicy acidity. Finishes fresh and juicy, leaving sweet tannins to linger. There’s no need to wait on this vibrant yet characterful vintage.

Foradori, Italy
For more than two decades, the Foradori family has been associated with some of the most authentic wine production to be found in Trentino. The winery is currently managed by the mother and daughter team of Gabriella and Elisabetta Foradori. They own 80 hectares planted to vine in an area north of Trento, known as the Campo Rotaliano. The gravel soils of this flat valley bottom were formed by the Noce River which over the centuries has left a deep limestone and granite deposits. The Campo is cooled by winds from the surrounding mountains which create a microclimate with a long ripening season and a late harvest. Foradori produces about 1500 cases a year. Elisabeth Foradori has taken rare autochthonous Teroldego to heights of international acclaim, her fascination with this variety fired my excellent examples of 20-year old bottlings left to her by her father. In the past ten years her researches have lead her to make drastic changes in vineyard management, lowering yields significantly and increasing the density of plantings.

Unique to the Trentino region of NE Italy, Teroldego produces a deeply purple-hued wine with an assertive black fruit character and intriguing aromatics. The best quality Teroldego comes from the Campo Rotaliano, a sandy and gravelly plain between the tall mountains of the area. Somm Secret—Dating back to the 15th century in Rotaliano, Teroldego has created a well-connected anthology for itself. As a parent to Lagrein, a variety native to nearby Alto Adige, it is also closely related to Syrah.

The southern part of Italy’s northeastern Alpine region, Trentino, produces quality wines from international varieties. But its most exceptional native variety, Teroldego, with plantings concentrated around the sandy, gravelly, limestone soils of its Campo Rotaliano district, makes a deep purple-hued red wine with scents and flavors of wild blackberry, herbs, espresso and cocoa.
