MOREI Teroldego

The results obtained during the eight years of use of biodynamic preparations and the balance achieved in the vineyards have greatly enhanced the character of the individual parcels to a point to "require" a separate vinification of two vineyards. It is through the use of amphorae, their shape and the porosity of the clay, that all the phases of the transformation from grape to wine are carried out with purity and balance. This transition is not subjected to any interference and so transmits to us only the character of the land and the variety. Morei means dark in the dialect of Trentino and the grapes that come from this vineyard mirror this meaning. Their roots plunge deep in the sand and stones of the soil carried by the river Noce and give rise to wines with a dense and mineral texture. Thus, Teroldego Morei takes shape and is reborn amplified and transformed.
