Sgarzon "Cilindrica" ​​Teroldego 2019 - Foradori (BD & vin nature)

All red wines from Foradori are from the local grape Teroldego. Morei is a vineyard that is slightly more exposed to the sun and is therefore slightly riper and has more structure than Sgarzon, which has more shade and is therefore slightly fresher, more elegant with slightly more acids. Furthermore, both wines are made in the same way, 8 months on tinaja (420 liter amphora). Due to the maturation on tinaja, both wines become very soft and undergo micro-oxidation, which makes the wines very refined. Foradori has more than 200 different amphorae and is legendary in amphora wines.

The Cilindrica line is made in the same way as the normal Morei and Sgarzon but is aged for another 12 months in a vertical cylinder tinaja (420 liter amphora). These cylinder amphorae are slightly narrower and contain only 350 liters instead of 420 liters (punciuta amphora) which means that the wine comes into less contact with oxygen.

Elisabetta Foradori has made a splash in the biodynamic and natural wine scene. For example, she makes wonderfully elegant natural wines that mature on Tinajas. These are 420 liter amphorae with a certain porosity. The legendary winemaker Elisabetta Foradori belongs to the absolute world top in pure and clean Vin Nature! Nowadays Elisabetta is increasingly involved in making cheese and her three children, Emilio, Theo and Myrtha, are increasingly taking charge of the winemaking and the vineyards. For example, at the end of 2019 Myrtha gave us an overview tasting at Restaurant BAK in Amsterdam and we put all 9 Foradori cuvees next to each other.
