Grape(s): 70% Teroldego, 15% Schiava, 10% Lagrein, 5% Merlot
Localization: Trentino, Italy
Tasting Notes: Aromatics of bright red berries and an interesting addition of violets. On the palate you will find smoke, freshly cut wood, and a touch of creaminess. A fresh, yet intriguing wine from start to finish.
The Domain: Elisabetta planted the vines in guyot from massale cuttings in 1984. The farming is certified-biodynamic and the harvest is by hand. The bunches are destemmed, with the grapes going directly into clay amphorae (tinajas from J. Padilla in Spain) for an open-top, spontaneous fermentation without sulfur; the vessels are then closed for 6-8 months of maceration. The wine is bottled without fining or flitering and with its only small dose of sulfur. Sgarzon and its identically made companion wine, Morei (from a warmer, stonier site nearby) develop more quickly in clay than the foudre-aged Foradori and Granato and are thus released earlier.
