Description

The Sgarzon Teroldego from Foradori shows how versatile this delicious red grape can be.

Coming from a cooler climate vineyard of the same name, the wine sees the same treatment as their Morei Teroldego - 8 months fermenting on skins in amphorae. It's a little bit more fresh and juicy than its Morei sibling, still maintaining earthy and mineral character but in a bit of a lighter frame.

Intense aromatics, silky tannins, with cherry fruited goodness right to the forefront. A vibrant line of acidity keeps things crisp and fresh - all up, very easy and pleasing to drink.

"There’s so much purity and freshness to the red fruit, with citrus peel, white pepper and attractive crushed stone minerality. It’s medium-bodied, bright and so expressive. Juicy, tense and very long." 
- James Suckling

96 points - "There’s so much purity and freshness to the red fruit, with citrus peel, white pepper and attractive crushed stone minerality. It’s medium-bodied, bright and so expressive. Juicy, tense and very long. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

“Sgarzon” literally means shoot in the Campo Rotaliano. The vines that grow in the Sgarzon vineyard are particularly active and benefit from the cooler climate that characterises this site. Teroldego’s character changes, it is enriched with an unusual freshness. The eight months spent in amphorae (Tinajas from Villarrobledo, Spain), with skin contact preserves and intensifies the diversity. Together with the Morei vineyard, Sgarzon noticeably expresses the great variability that this variety can express.

Elisabetta Foradori

Elisabetta Foradori is a trailblazing organic winegrower from the town of Trentino in Mezzolambardo.

Her first vintage was in 1984, with her conversion to biodynamics beginning in 2002. By 2007 she was certified and now is considered one of the most forward-thinking winegrowers in Italy with a huge international profile.

Her wines are made with a natural sensibility. The gentle use of clay amphora and inert vessels for ferments and maturation sees her mainline a sense of place from grape to glass.
