Pick a Burgundy Glass for swirling & releasing the wine aromas. The shape of the glass captures and directs the delicate aromas to your nose and leads the wine to the tip of your tongue for a better reception of the tastes. The Burgundy glass was designed for the delicate and aromatic red wine Bourgogne Rouge, made from Pinot Noir grapes in Bougogne (Burgundy). |
Teroldego takes its name from the traditional method of mounting the grapes on a system of wire cables called "tirelle".
The grape is very dark, similar to Syrah and Lagrein, but the taste reminds of Zinfandel.
The official DOC is Campo Rotaliano, at the junction of Adige Valley and the Noce River with 300 producers and 400 hectares of vineyards.
Teroldego was a forgotten variety until Elisabetta Foradori decided to change the production philosophy. She chose quality over quantity and she was right!
The Alps protect Alto Adige from cold air from the north. From the south, warm, moist air from Lake Garda and the Mediterranean find their way to Alto Adige.
Mild sunny days, warm soils, cool nights, and strong winds bring freshness to Alto Adige wines.
