About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown in the Campo Rotaliano production area, north of Trento.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes undergo 8–10 days of maceration in stainless-steel vats.

Ageing

The wine ages partly in barriques and partly in Bulgarian oak barrels for no more than six months, preserving its characteristic fruit notes.

Tasting profile

The wine has distinctive fruity notes.

Label / history

The name Teroldego most likely derives from the German expression “Tiroler Gold,” meaning “Gold of Tyrol.” The variety was known by the end of the 15th century. Its producers established a consortium in 1948 to oversee and protect Teroldego Rotaliano, which received DOC status in 1970.
