Brand Story: “Teroldego Rotaliano is unanimously considered the ‘prince’ of Trentino wines. A native grape variety, it takes its name from the Teroldeghe village located in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. The varietal grows best in alluvial soils of the Noce River known as the Piana Rotaliana. Teroldego represents balanced fruit; versatile and modern.”
James Suckling: “Pure and juicy teroldego with ripe dark cherries, crushed forest berries, hints of licorice and dried orange peel. Medium-bodied, fine and polished, nicely filled with vivid fruit. Juicy and bright with moderate length. Spicy finish. Drink now.”
