Foradori Morei Teroldego 2023

“Open and relaxed in 2023; but not a "light" relaxation, more of an existential one. Like a person walking calmly into a life-threatening situation, conscious of the inexplicable trifle of existence, while concealing this existentialism with the understanding of unique beauty of every minute in life. The colour is that of a ruby gem, the nose tangy and zestful. It is still a bit dry in the back, but this Cardinal is ready to become the Pope. Silky at the entrance, firm in the finish. Exceptional length. Put this away. My personal favourite in 2023.  Cultural reference: Wicked Game by Chris Isaak.” Winery Note

100% Teroldego sourced from the 2.5 hectare ‘Morei’ (dark in dialect) vineyard on the Campo Rotaliano.  Fermented in Spanish tinajas (clay jars) for 8 months. Importer note

The results obtained through years of biodynamic farming and observing stability in the vineyard emphasized the character of each plot of land and made us realize that we would need to undertake a separate vinification across two vineyards.
Through the use of amphorae (Tinajas from Villarrobledo, Spain), with their particular shape and the porosity of the clay that they are made of, the winemaking process is undertaken with purity and balance. The process of turning grapes into wine is not effected by outside influences; the amphora acts as a shield, allowing the grapes to progress with only the character of the earth and grape variety as their guidance. Morei means ‘moro’ or ‘dark’ in the Trentino dialect and the grapes cultivated in this vineyard are a firm echo of this. Their roots rest among the pebbles and the sand in the earth carried by the Noce River, cultivating
wines with a texture of minerality and density. Morei Teroldego resumes form and is reborn amplified and transformed. Winery Note
