Foradori IGT Teroldego 2023

"Contemporary and fine, vinous and fragrant, this is focused on dark fruit and fresh roses with leather and meaty depth. There is a hidden complexity that slowly reveals itself. Supple on the medium-bodied palate, this has moderate acidity and ripe, elegant tannins with slightly peppery flavors. Fruity and superjuicy with a savory aftertaste. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold." - 96 PTS, JAMES SUCKLIING

IMPORTER NOTES:

WINE PROFILE: "This wine, colloquially known as the "Foradori Rosso", is the family's entry level red wine. It comes from 15 small plots with an average age of 35 years. The fruit is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place in cement tanks and used foudres of 20 to 40 hectoliters for about a year. S02 is usually added only at bottling, between 40-50mg/l. In warm vintages with low PH, it may be added after malolactic fermentation."
