The 2011 Granato is a pure expression of Teroldego that delivers delicious richness and luscious intensity. The wine flaunts the specific characteristics of this Italian indigenous grape in all its glory. The quality of fruit is dark and beautifully presented with tones of sour cherry, red rose, licorice, oak spice and balsam herb. The fruit is very bright in its present state and should continue to evolve gracefully over the next ten years. The various vineyard sites that source fruit for this wine are panted to 6,000-vines-per-hectare density.
