Marian Henß

And then, finally, it reveals its full potential. Powerful and with fine-grained tannins, it presents itself as a Foradori and thrives primarily on a cool elegance. The Teroldego is racy and characterized by spicy notes. The dark fruits now appear significantly brighter and not even remotely concentrated. The acidity lends the wine a decent punch and plenty of finesse. The floral, violet notes linger wonderfully in the finish. The foothills of the Alps leave behind a cool-looking wine that scores not for concentration or power, but for its endurance.

Info

Toreldego Rotaliano from various old pergola-trained vineyards in the Campo Rotaliano. The vineyards are characterized by alluvial alluvial soils with sand and gravel, as well as limestone, granite, and porphyry weathering. The grapes come from a total of four hectares. They are fermented spontaneously in a large, open wooden fermenter and aged in wood for over 15 months.

Color

Dark cherry red

Nose

The dark fruit is driven primarily by plums, blackberries, and elderberry. A light note of clove and cinnamon spreads in the background. Some leather, juniper, and violet can also be detected. The floral aromas definitely increase in the glass and beautifully dress the Granato. Only very subtle roasted aromas and cedar wood can be detected. But above all, a nuance of tangerine skin characterizes this dark fruit moment in the background. This promises a tart and sour spectacle.

Palate

And then it finally reveals its full potential. Powerful and with fine-grained tannins, it knows how to present itself as a Foradori and thrives above all on a cool elegance. The Teroldego is racy and characterized by spicy notes. The dark fruits now appear noticeably lighter and not at all concentrated. The acidity lends the wine a decent punch and plenty of finesse. The floral, violet notes linger beautifully on the finish. The foothills of the Alps leave a cool-looking wine that scores not for concentration or power, but for its endurance.

Vinous

Score: 92

The dark and brooding 2018 Granato mixes wild berries with savory herbs, crushed rocks, brown spice and a hint of animal musk. This is a more lifted and vertical expression on the palate, with bright acids and mineral-tinged red and black fruits that seem to hover across the senses. The 2018 leaves a coating of grippy tannins, yet remains energetic and fresh, as inner violet tones and nuances of blackberries slowly fade. Only a short stay in the cellar should be required before the 2018 really starts to show its merit. That said, it’s an effort to enjoy sooner while the more structured vintages climb toward maturity.
