Foradori

One of the keys to Elisabetta Foradori.s teroldego-based wines is biodiversity. She cultivates a variety of clonal types within each vineyard site in the belief that the rich genetic patrimony enhances the wine.s complexity. The owner of especially favored plots within the classic zone for teroldego known as Campo Rotaliano at the northern edge of the Trentino in the Adige valley, she produces wines of remarkable power and grace in most years. Laboratory analysis of this grape shows it to be closely related to both lagrein and syrah but Elisabetta believes that even though teroldego and lagrein share a similar aromatic profile, the first of these grapes shows more finesse (one is more feminine and the other more masculine, as she puts it.). Only two red wines are produced at this property, both entirely from teroldego. The flagship wine is called Granato, and there is also a second-tier wine, Foradori, from younger vines or from less privileged plots. A vintage 2003 barrel sample of Granato was superrich and lushly textured but not overripe, with a liqueur-like sweetness of fruit and compelling balance. A wine with a great future, it will likely rate a score in the mid-90s when released.
