Lezér means "light" and so it is - in the most delicate sense. Bright ruby red, red berries and an interesting note of violets on the nose. On the palate smoke, freshly cut wood and a fine creaminess. A thoroughly fresh red until the finish, which is particularly suited to the warm season and uncomplicated Mediterranean cuisine when lightly chilled. The ageing in different vessels such as amphora, cement tank and wooden barrel gives it an additional charm and an unmistakable profile. SUPERIORE.DE

Foradori's Teroldegos are world class and the best from this very own grape variety. Typical subtle aromas of blackberries, fine tannin, elegant and long. A warm, very delicate and exceptional red with high memory potential! SUPERIORE.DE

A small marvel, perfectly harmonised with multi-layered aromas of tropical fruits, apples and honey. A highly interesting white natural wine that is far more than casual enjoyment because it offers an exceedingly full, well-structured taste. Fermented in the red wine process with the skins. Strong yellow with golden reflections. Intensely fragrant of dried herbs, incense, candied lemon peel and a hint of bitter orange. On the palate, fresh citrus notes, an exciting acid arc and a powerful structure lead into a very long finish, crowned by a hint of bitter almonds. Very complex and a wonderful food companion - definitely aerate! SUPERIORE.DE

"This is so perfumed and attractive with candied stone fruit, glazed tangerines, honey, dried flowers and beeswax. Full-bodied and layered with super polished texture and vivid fruit character, accompanied by vivid acidity and subtle floral undertones. Savory at the end with a lengthy finish." James Suckling

Only 8,000 bottles of Fuoripista Pinot Grigio from the biodynamic vineyards of the Campo Rotaliano site are pressed by Emilio and Elisabetta Foradori each year. The delicate pink wine is fermented for eight months on the skins in tinajas (Spanish amphorae), where it slowly matures to reveal the delicate character of Pinot Grigio and the forgotten diversity of Trentino.

Nosiola - an ancient grape variety of Trentino - was once cultivated all over the country. Today, its cultivation is limited to the mountains and valleys of Trento. The Nosiola vine produces wines of great finesse and longevity. Elisabetta's Nosiola also gains exceptional power and energy from biodynamics and ageing in amphorae. Give the Nosiola time and be patient: Only after sufficient aeration and at a serving temperature of about 13 degrees does this white wine reveal its full potential. SUPERIORE.DE

The Teroldego from Foradori are all a great experience. Elisabetta presses highly interesting wines from the autochthonous grape variety from the foot of the Dolomites. And they do so purely organically and partly in amphorae.

Morei (dark in Trentino dialect) is an original red wine, true to the terroir, and at the same time of irresistible elegance and finesse. Warm, dense and mineral like the soil on which it grows. Morei is protected from the cold north winds by the nearby steep rock faces. The rock stores heat during the day, which radiates to the vineyard at night. The soil here is very stony, therefore relatively warm, dense, dark, mineral, like the eponymous wine Morei Teroldego. The average age of the vines (30 years) also contributes to its depth of character. SUPERIORE.DE

Sgarzon is a single vineyard, hardly more than a kilometre from Morei as the crow flies, but here the Noce has deposited more sand in the upper soil layers, the plot is more open and thus less protected from cold winds. The grapes ripen about a week later. Teroldego Sgarzon is fabulous, filigree and yet full of richness and energy from the start to the final. The bouquet - an exciting mix of dark fruits, tobacco, flowers, liquorice, mint and minerals. Very clear, pure and clean on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

Morei Cilindrica is the Demeter-certified Teroldego Cru in Riserva quality and a racy wine with intense and mineral-driven aromas. The vineyard is planted in an old river bed set in rocks and sand. This and the 12-month extended ageing in cylindrical amphorae give the site wine its terroir-typical, clear profile. SUPERIORE.DE

"Masses of wild berries and hints of melon, along with crushed stone, wafts up from the 2018 Teroldego Morei Cilindrica. This is soft with depths of minerality, yet also juicy acids that create a lively and jovial feel, even as tart wild berries saturate. It leaves a subtle coating of tannins and a twang of spice while tapering off dry yet fresh. This limited release of the Morei spends an extra year on a Cilindrica Amphora, which is essentially two total years of refinement." Vinous

Sgarzon is a single vineyard, hardly more than a kilometre from Morei as the crow flies, but here the Noce has deposited more sand in the upper soil layers, the plot is more open and thus less protected from cold winds.

Sgarzon Cilindrica is a Demeter-certified Teroldego Cru in Riserva quality and a delicate wine that is at the same time full of richness and energy from the start to the final. The extended ageing of 12 months in cylindrical amphorae underlines the character of the site wine once again in an impressive way. Only 350 bottles of this "project wine" were bottled! SUPERIORE.DE

Granato has been an exceptional Teroldego for years: It convinces in the bouquet with its rich balsamic scent of sour cherries and red currants. Extract-rich and intense, powerful and extremely precise on the palate. A great wine that reflects the long-standing consistency and competence of this winemaker. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Teroldego Granato is so youthful yet so beautiful, rising from the glass with an infectiously spicy bouquet that is at times autumnal, at times savoury, mingling with dark red fruits. The palate is flooded with a wave of intense raspberries and wild berries that quickly saturate, but with a hint of sour citrus for a nice balance. A pretty inner sweetness lingers as it finishes structured and remarkably long with a refreshing hint of inner rose and wild strawberry that lingers on. It's powerful but also elegant and perfectly balanced for a long evolution." Vinous

"This wine shows deep red and dark berries with peppery notes, dark chocolate, hibiscus and grapefruit peel. Just a hint of cedar and smoked herbs. Full and concentrated, so stable and dense with lively, finely honed tannins and vibrant acidity giving the wine power and highlighting the savoury fruit and minerality. Very long and tense." James Suckling

"Iconic wine, one of the expressive peaks of Teroldego. Fermentation in open oak vats, ageing in acacia and cement casks, great freshness on the nose, redcurrants, touches of wild mint and rhubarb, on the palate it is dense-sweet, with a fruity-balsamic return and a finish on underbrush notes." Luca Gardini

"Deep crimson. Aromatic dark–red fruit, with minor highlights of dried wild flowers, possibly lavender as it opens in the glass, and a hint of crushed stones, though this last characteristic is more evident on the Morei. Instantly captivating on the palate with a combination of energising freshness and very fine tannins, dry, pulled tight like a bowstring. So clean in the mouth and refined. A delicate peony–like scent appears on the palate but there's also a refined darkness to the flavour. Incredibly long, pure and vibrant. Becomes more floral with air. Delicious, sensitive wine." Jancis Robinson

"The 2020 Teroldego Sgarzon is remarkably pretty and finessed with crushed strawberries, roses and sweet smoke. This is silky and pliant with a cool–toned feel, complemented by lifting acidity and ripe mineral–tinged red berries. It leaves the palate watering for more, yet with a subtle tug of fine tannins and lingering sour cherry fruits. I don’t see the 2020 Sgarzon as a long–distance runner, yet it’s geared to give masses of pleasure over the medium term." Vinous

"Closed with a red wax capsule, the organic and biodynamic Foradori 2020 Teroldego Sgarzon shows a pretty dark color and rich saturation. Aromas include dark fruit, red beets, iodine, mahogany and perfumed teak wood. The wine is very savory with iron ore and rust, showing dark consistency and a strong set of aromas." Wine Advocate

"Incredibly vibrant wild–berry, wild–herb and savory aromas pour from the glass of this dangerously expressive teroldego red that has so much energy, it’s hard to understand how it stays in the glass. The mineral acidity and fine–grained tannins are beautifully interwoven on the very long, diamond–bright finish." James Suckling

"Deep crimson. Slightly darker fruited and with less of the floral note of the Sgarzon 2020, just a touch of peony, more mineral (an impression of rock dust), sober, perhaps a little bigger in the mouth than the Sgarzon – the alcohol is a tiny bit higher but still pretty modest. Firmer, more rounded tannins but still extremely fine, and they are deeper and denser. Like the Sgarzon, there is outstanding purity and refinement. Beautifully fresh even if the freshness is less immediate than in the Sgarzon, it carries through on the long, long finish. Such incredible elegance in a young wine and the most delicious, dry, non-sweet and yet fruit-laden finish." Jancis Robinson

"The 2020 Teroldego Morei is dark and inward, slowly blossoming in the glass with black cherries, balsam herbs, hints of cinnamon and clove. This is round in feel, yet with a reverberation of zesty acidity and inner spice. Depths of dark red fruits and minerals settle upon the senses, along with a coating of sweet tannin. Wow, the result is quite stunning, with a chiseled and almost-teeth-chattering feel through the finale. The 2020 is a very exciting vintage for Morei; a boost of warm vintage fruit adds depth to its usually-inward and structured persona. Enjoy a bottle now, but lose the rest for a few years in the cellar." Vinous

"A giant wave of ripe forest-berry aromas pours from the glass of this sensationally concentrated and silky teroldego red. There’s plenty of fresh tannin, but its already so well integrated that it feels like one of the fundamental forces of nature. Super-long, fine-grained, crushed-stone finish." James Suckling

"The Pinot Grigio Fuoripista 2021 is wild and exotic, with an enticing blend of soaked peaches and plums accented by sweet spice. The palate is juicy and smooth, more like a juice than a wine, but with a depth of wild berries and flowers lifted by lively acidity. On the finish, the 2021 is dry and lively, with hints of apricot and rose. Don't be put off by the pink colour in the glass. The Fuoripista spends eight months on the skins in clay amphorae." Vinous

"Beautiful medium orange hue with a salmon tinge. Wild red berries, loquat, cloves, licorice, mezcal and resin. A lot going on here on the full-bodied palate with fine tannins and natural, fresh berries. Composed yet lively and super balanced." James Suckling

"The Teroldego Sgarzon 2021 is an elegant beauty. Roses and cloves complement bright cherries and strawberries. It is silky through and through, balancing sweet red fruits and acidity for a perfectly harmonious red wine. The Sgarzon finishes remarkably fresh yet powerful and long, with a framework of gentle tannins and hints of liquorice and minerals that linger. The 2021 is possibly the finest interpretation of the Sgarzon to date." Vinous

"Engagingly fresh nose with white pepper, stems, blue fruit, longyan and some fine geraniums. Really crunchy and fresh on the palate with a linear medium body and pure dark cherry fruit. Chalky, firm tannins round it off before a pure-fruit finish. Long and succulent." James Suckling

"The 2021 Teroldego Morei is intense in the glass. Exotic spices and dark, dusty flowers offset crushed stone and dried cherry notes. The palate is flooded with ripe red fruits and mineral notes driven by zesty acidity. The grippy tannins assert themselves on the final, allowing purple flowers and clove notes to live on within. A touch of sour citrus perfectly underscores the experience." Vinous

"This is so lively, blooming with such purity of red and blue fruit, with hints of fresh violets, savory herbs, white pepper and savory, citrus undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and vibrant with crunchy, very fine tannins and a structured, chalky backbone to it. Crushed stones. So much life and energy here with stunning acidity and a lingering, savory finish." James Suckling
