4.2
This magnificent 12-year-old Teroldego is in a good shape. I reckon it would only benefit from even longer ageing. Dark purple (!) colour. A sophisticated bouquet of cherry, plum, pomegranate, pine, bitter herbs, iodine, graphite, and blood. It's full-bodied with good structure - almost mature yet kicking tannin, high acidity, good fruit concentration and minerality. The aftertaste is long, persistent and flavourful. Sophisticated and interesting wine.
About
A 100% Teroldego from Vigneto Morei, Campo Rotaliano, Mezzolombardo. It's a relatively small vineyard of 2.5 hectares scattered over alluvial soil with many pebbles. Morei means 'moro' or 'dark' in the Trentino dialect. The grapes are fermented in amphorae (Tinajas from Villarrobledo, Spain) for eight months on skins.
