Teroldego Rotaliano profile
Teroldego Rotaliano is an indigenous wine that grows in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana, a small patch of land north of Trento that extends for 450 hectares between Mezzocorona, Mezzolombardo and San Michele all'Adige. It is an important wine with an unmistakable class, which has always been defined as the "prince of Trentino wines". With an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections, of different intensity depending on the maturation of the wine, it has a very fruity aroma that recalls very ripe berries such as blackberry, blueberry and raspberry. The taste is as fine as it is powerful, slightly tannic, mineral and lively, the flavor is dry, savory and with a perfect balance between pleasantness and concentration.
