The 2009 Teroldego Morei is another newly reintroduced single-vineyard bottling. It bursts onto the palate with an intense, primary expression of dark red fruit and a flashy, extroverted personality. Raspberry jam, flowers and licorice are some of the notes that wrap around the deep, intensely satisfying finish. The Morei shows how important an additional year of experience is during the massive stylistic shift that is taking place at the estate. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2025. I have included notes on these new releases from Elisabetta Foradori, even though she is located in Trentino rather than Alto Adige. Foradori continues to push the boundaries when it comes to Teroldego, the main indigenous red variety in Trentino. Biodynamic farming and a non-interventionalist approach to winemaking are at the core of Foradori’s philosophy. Over the last few years Foradori has begun using terra cotta amphoras for a number of her wines. Foradori has also re-introduced two single-vineyard Teroldegos – Sgarzon and Morei – she first made from 1988 to 1999. Both wines emerge from pergola-trained vineyards and are aged in terra cotta amphoras. Readers should do whatever they can to taste these magnificent wines. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.
