Foradori “Morei” Teroldego Vigneti dell Dolomiti
The results obtained through years of biodynamic farming and observing stability in the vineyard emphasized the character of each plot of land and made us realize that we would need to undertake a separate vinification across two vineyards.
Through the use of amphorae (Tinajas from Villarrobledo, Spain), with their particular shape and the porosity of the clay that they are made of, the winemaking process is undertaken with purity and balance. The process of turning grapes into wine is not effected by outside influences; the amphora acts as a shield, allowing the grapes to progress with only the character of the earth and grape variety as their guidance. Morei means ‘moro’ or ‘dark’ in the Trentino dialect and the grapes cultivated in this vineyard are a firm echo of this. Their roots rest among the pebbles and the sand in the earth carried by the Noce River, cultivating wines with a texture of minerality and density. Morei Teroldego resumes form and is reborn amplified and transformed.
“Trentino, with its location straddled by the Adriatic and Lake Garda to the south and the Dolomite mountains to the north, is the perfect backdrop for the electric and brave winemaking of mother and son duo Elisabetta and Emilio Foradori… her fully extracted Teroldego’s are to die for. These range from the structured yet juicy base cuvée to the complex and age-worthy single vineyard “Morei” and “Sgarzon”, and the world class old vine “Granato” cuvée… I love Foradori perhaps more than any other winery in the world right now. Not only because Elisabetta and her son Emilio’s wines are world class, but also because of they have an unrivaled ability to shatter expectations. When learning about wine, it’s incredibly important keep an open mind and constantly check in on your preconceived notions, there’s a Foradori waiting right around the corner to prove you wrong” – JWK, Summer Catalogue 2022
