2010 Teroldego Vigneti delle Dolomi IGT

In the heart of the Campo Rotaliano, a unique alluvial basin nestled between Dolomite peaks, Elisabetta Foradori has been reinterpreting the indigenous Teroldego grape variety for over 40 years. From hand-picked parcels, cultivated biodynamically and characterized by alluvial sand and dolomitic limestone, a wine is created that reflects the identity of its homeland like few others.
The 2010 Teroldego is a striking example of how wonderfully this indigenous Dolomite grape variety can ripen. The year was characterized by moderate temperatures, cool nights, and a long growing season – ideal conditions for a wine of depth and structure.
After spontaneous fermentation in cement and maturation in cement and wood, the wine now shows a harmoniously matured profile that nevertheless retains its alpine tension.
On the nose, ripe notes of black cherry, dark plums and blackberries open up, accompanied by violets, smoke, dried herbs and a hint of undergrowth.
On the palate, the 2010 vintage is silky and expansive, with ripe, polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that has remarkably aged well. The dark, juicy fruit blends with earthy and mineral nuances typical of Campo Rotaliano.
The finish is long, spicy and delicate – a wine at its best drinking maturity, skillfully combining depth and elegance.
The 2010 vintage is a perfect balance of maturity and vitality, demonstrating why Foradori's Teroldego has been considered a style-defining wine for years.
