The Teroldego "Sgarzon" is one of the symbolic wines of the revival of the Rotaliano field area, driven by the relentless work of Elisabetta Foradori. In search of the purest expression of her wines, the winemaker has embarked on revolutionary paths for the area, adopting ancient techniques such as amphora vinification.
“Sgarzo” means vine shoot. The vines grow in the Sgarzon vineyard, a unique environment where the climate is cooler compared to other areas and the soils, of alluvial origin, are sandy. Among the rows, the principles of organic farming are adopted along with the use of biodynamic principles. In the cellar, vinification seeks only simplicity and is driven by the slowness of time. A slow passage of days sees the grapes inside the tinajas, the Spanish amphorae that Elisabetta Foradori uses as fermentative containers to achieve the maximum expression of her grapes. 8 months is the period during which these amphorae are sealed, and inside, the must, in contact with the skins, slowly enriches with concentration and aromas.
The Teroldego "Sgarzon" presents itself with an intense garnet red color. On the nose, it requires adequate time to oxygenate before revealing itself as intense, with fruity notes of undergrowth, violet, and an earthy background with hints of lemon balm. On the palate, it is highly appealing, fresh, crisp, with smooth tannins, persistent and with a mineral finish. It rewrites the rules!
