Vigneti delle Dolomiti
Indicazione geografica tipica

Production area
The Dolomites are shared between the provinces of Trento, Bolzano and Belluno, and this is the area, where the grapes used for this wine are grown. The mountains and the rivers have defined the cultivable areas; Teroldego prefers light and permeable soils, such as the alluvial soils. Grape variety This wine has been defined the “Prince of Trentino”, as it is one of the main local grape varieties of the region; its name comes from the toponym “Le Teroldeghe”, an old area mentioned in the texts of the 15th century.

Winemaking
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. The juice undergoes the fermentation under controlled temperature with the skins for about 2 weeks. Thereafter the wine undergoes the malolactic fermentation, which aims to reduce the acidity. The wine ages in wood and stainless-steel tanks.  

Description
Ruby red in colour, vinous on the nose with hints of violet, red fruits, and a light balsamic note. Dry on the palate, with elegant tannins.

Pairing
An ideal partner for red meats and roasts.
