Foradori Granato Teroldego 2021
The 2021 Granato is a wine with charm, beauty and intensity. The grape is a mutation of Teroldego with a particular concentration and density, the vines sink their roots deep into the stones of the Campo Rotaliano vineyards in which they reside. Farmed and grown biodynamically, fermented in large open vats and matured for 15 months in barrel.
“I never did opium. Something dark and pleasant it must be. Maybe the last couple of years of my life I can smoke some up from my Cambodian chalet, while I write these tasting notes …ANYWAY… this wine is how I imagine opium. Not because the addictive part (otherwise I would write to you from my pharma-headquarter), but the depth, joy and density. There is something sublime about this wine, especially after the bottle is open for two days. The nose smells like Christmas; cardamon, cloves and cinnamon. The length is brutal. Quinces and cranberries appear and disappear. The aftermath is bitter and medical. Suggested for terminal illness.” - Theo Zierock, Azienda Agricola Foradori.
