Description
The winery is situated in the middle of several acres of vineyards Vittorio Foradori purchased in 1929, in the town of Mezzolombardo. Foradori does not use synthetic chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers. They are certified by ICEA and Demeter since 2009. They harvest the grapes from vineyards covering 26 hectares – 80% of Teroldego, 15% of Manzoni Bianco and 5% of Nosiola – to produce an average of 160,000 bottles per year: 90,000 of Foradori, 20,000 of Granato, 20,000 of Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco, 8,000 of Fontanasanta Nosiola and 10,000 for each of the old vineyards of Teroldego Sgarzon and Morei.
Tasting Note
“Morei” means dark in the dialect of Trentino and the grapes from this vineyard mirror this meaning. Their roots plunge deep in the stones and sand of the soil carried by the river Noce giving rise to wines with a dense and mineral texture. Thus, Teroldego Morei takes shape and is reborn amplified and transformed.
“The 2018 Teroldego Morei from Foradori is simply stunning. Aromas of fresh strawberries, violets, wild herbs, spiced orange peels and wet stone form up in the glass, creating a captivating display. It’s soft with an inner sweetness that perfectly contrasts its cascading minerality and juicy acids. There’s a tart twang of sour red berries and inner florals that lasts and lasts and lasts. What a beautiful wine.”[92/100 Points, Eric Guido, August 2020, www.vinous.com]
