Foradori Teroldego 2023 Italian Red Wine

Explore the vibrant flavors of Foradori Teroldego 2023, a captivating red wine crafted in Italy’s renowned Trentino-Alto Adige region. This biodynamic gem showcases the depth of Teroldego grapes grown across 9 hectares of sustainably managed vineyards on Trentino’s Camp Rotaliano plateau—a sun-drenched area known for its alluvial soils rich in Dolomitic limestone. With a history dating back to 1960 when first bottled by Elisabetta Foradori’s pioneering parents, this flagship wine balances tradition and innovation to deliver exceptional quality.

The Foradori Teroldego opens with an inviting aroma of dark plum and black cherry intertwined with earthy undertones of leather and spice, creating a harmonious complexity that appeals to both casual drinkers and collectors alike. On the palate, it reveals silky textures and lively acidity—perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like roasted meats or mushroom risotto—while mineral-infused wild berry notes add a refreshing contrast to its robust structure. Aged for over a year in large neutral oak botti (20-40 hectoliters), this wine retains purity through minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, no added sulfur during vinification, and bottling without fining or filtration ensures its natural character shines through.

What sets this Trentino-Alto Adige red wine apart is its approachability now while aging gracefully for up to five years—a rare balance achieved through meticulous attention to vineyard practices. Older vines are trained traditionally under pergola canopies for rich concentration, while younger vines follow Guyot methods to maintain freshness. Each parcel of grapes is hand-harvested and fermented separately before blending—a labor-intensive process that highlights terroir nuances and elevates its layered profile.

At 12.5% alcohol, this wine offers approachable elegance without heaviness, making it ideal for everyday enjoyment or special occasions. Whether you’re seeking a sustainable Italian red with biodynamic integrity or a versatile bottle for food pairing adventures,Foradori’s Teroldego delivers unmatched authenticity and depth from one of Trentino’s most respected family estates.
