Teroldego IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti

Italy
Alto Adige
2018

100% Teroldego. Teroldego is a close relative of Lagrein, both being native Südtirol varieties. Nusserhof only has 10 rows of it, averaging 30 years old and yielding very low quantities. The farming is certified organic and harvest is by hand. The grapes are mainly destemmed but with up to 30% left in whole clusters. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and with a 4-week maceration in stainless steel. The wine is aged in used Burgundy barriques for 2-2.5 years, followed by at least 2 more years in bottle. A small amount of sulfur is added after fermentation and at bottling only. For the first time in the 2018 vintage, Teroldego is permissible in the Dolomiti IGT, so the variety is now spelled out fully on the label (versus past years' "Tyr...go" and so on).
