Letrari - Teroldego IGT Dolomiti

Letrari Teroldego IGT Dolomiti. Teroldego is a deeply coloured red wine grape grown mostly in the Trentino wine region of northern Italy where it is the main dark-skinned variety. This variety produces deeply pigmented red wines with an intensely fruity character, a style that has become something of an icon for Trentino's wine industry.

Wine type: red wine - Teroldego IGT Dolomiti.

Alcohol content: 12,5°

Region: Trentino Alto Adige, Rovereto,  Borghetto all' Adige e Nogaredo - Italy.

Grape/Blend: 100% Teroldego.

Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves.The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection.

Colour: luminous, rich ruby red, tending to garnet.

Aroma: its rich and unusual bouquet is a faithful expression of Teroldego, with dark fruit preserves generously in evidence.

Tasting notes: the soft textured palate displays full fruit and fine balance between tannins and vanilla impressions, the fruit of sapient ageing in French oak barriques.

Serving suggestions: it is delicious with first courses of pasta and grilled red meats, as well as with aged cheeses and charcuterie.
