This fluid, seamless red shows depth, definition and vivid presence, offering pureed black cherry, black plum and blueberry fruit, with olive tapenade and mineral notes, plus pretty violet, marjoram, anise, white pepper and paprika aromatics. There's a plush chalkiness to the texture, and sculpted tannins firm the long, lively finish. Teroldego. Drink now through 2040. 1,660 cases made, 150 cases imported. (AN)

Old-vine pergola-trained Teroldego from three vineyards, vinified in open-top wood vats and aged for one year in small oak and one year in large oak vessels. Vertical and with lovely sapidity, it has fine structure with intense, dark cherry fruit, some amaro and cola, black pepper, and herbal touches. Lovely. (JB)

This is an Italian icon made with organic and biodynamic fruit in the far north of Italy. The Foradori 2022 Teroldego Granato (with 20,000 bottles produced) opens to an inky dark appearance with bright aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and sweet plum. Aged in botte grande for 15 months, it offers soft tannins, generous fruit over a medium- to full-bodied texture and balanced freshness. (ML)
