Foradori Morei Teroldego 2022

Through years of biodynamic farming and observation, Foradori have been able to emphasize the character of each plot of land across their estate. Two separate vinifications of two Teroldego vineyards results in Morei and Sgarzon.

Fermented on skins for 8 months, in Spanish Tinajas from Villarrobledo, the clay amphora acts as a shield against the elements, 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, resulting in a wine with great texture and clean minerality.

“Morei, the Cardinal, couldn’t be bothered less by this “little” desert-summer (3 months of drought on clay-less soil!). A wine for the Vatican: round, willing to agree and out of touch with reality. Straight from Cotes-du-Rhone to the gates of the Pope’s mansion. The nose talks of moss, humidity, and Syrah. Then it flows like a perfect bowl around the mouth, right before stretching out long like my grandmother’s lasagna. She loves Jesus by the way. Persistent, consistent and spice like ecclesiastic secrets; Morei shines, in a smooth and jazzy way.” - Theo Zierock, Azienda Agricola Foradori
