The two Teroldegos, Morei and Sgarzon, are the result of years of biodynamic vineyard work in two single sites particularly well suited to the variety. Just as many years were spent studying Spanish tinajas before Foradori ever bottled wines vinified in them. Understanding amphorae isn’t easy, but once you know how to work with them, they offer numerous advantages. They provide a completely neutral vessel, the material is organic, and the direct contact with the skins allows for a gentle, slow maceration that also offers maximum protection against oxidation. The result in the case of Foradori’s Morei is more than impressive: a mineral, purist reflection of an ideal Teroldego terroir, interpreted by a great winemaking family.
AGED AT THE ESTATE
In the “Aged at the Estate” series, maturation takes place directly at the winery — under absolutely perfect conditions.
The 2019 vintage went down in the history of the Foradori estate. Not only because of the excellent quality of the grapes, but also because that quality had to be earned through hard work. Extremely cool weather at the start of the year led to irregular flowering and, as a result, to varying degrees of phenolic ripeness within the vineyards. This meant that the Foradori family and their harvest team had to go out not just once or twice but up to four times in order to pick absolutely perfect grapes. The effort now shows in the wines, which should have reached an ideal drinking window.
