Teroldego grown on this terroir brings yet another style of wine, a darker juice, thanks to the deeper root system. The wine is more dense, mineral and powerful.
Elisabetta Foradori
Elisabetta Foradori cultivates 26 hectares nestled amidst the Dolomite Mountains, in Mezzolombardo, on the Campo Rotaliano plain. Her family estate was founded there in 1901 on an exceptional terroir. The viticulture advocated by Elisabetta is profoundly rooted in her own principals about life, biodiversity, and energy, with biodynamics strongly informing her views on the latter. The use of old native grape varieties, such as Teroldego or Nosiolam, greatly contributes to the incredible personality exhibited by all of her wines. In terms of vinification, Elisabetta and her team believe in a policy of non-intervention in the cellar where they tend to add nothing at all to the wine. For her, a winemaker’s only concern should be to “guide” the wine to insure its natural character can reach its full potential. Very little sulphur, and no filtration. Elisabetta produces splendid wines which rank among the most refined in Italy.
