Teroldego 'Sgarzon' Foradori 2024
Winegrower's winesThe Teroldego "Sgarzon" by Foradori is an intense yet subtle red wine, born from a single vineyard, characterized by complex notes of red fruit and spices, great freshness and minerality, vinified and aged entirely in amphora for 8 months.
The Teroldego "Sgarzon" is one of the iconic wines symbolizing the revival of the Rotaliano field area, driven by the relentless work of Elisabetta Foradori. In pursuit of the purest expression of her wines, the winemaker has taken revolutionary paths for the area, adopting ancient techniques such as amphora vinification.
"Sgarzo" means vine shoot. The vines grow in the Sgarzon vineyard, a unique environment where the climate is cooler compared to other areas and the soils, of alluvial origin, are sandy. Among the rows, the principles of organic farming and the use of biodynamic principles are adopted. In the cellar, vinification seeks only simplicity and is driven by the slowness of time. A slow passage of days sees the grapes inside the tinajas, the Spanish amphorae that Elisabetta Foradori uses as fermentation containers to achieve the fullest expression of her grapes. 8 months is the period during which these amphorae are sealed, and inside, the must, in contact with the skins, slowly enriches withconcentration and aromas.
The Teroldego "Sgarzon" presents itself with an intense garnet red color. On the nose, it needs to be oxygenated for an adequate period of time to then reveal itself as intense, with fruity notes of undergrowth, violet, and an earthy background with hints of lemon balm. On the palate, it is highly appealing, fresh, crisp, with smooth tannins, persistent, and with a mineral finish. It rewrites the rules!
