Wish I had more because it drinking really well right now. (3841 views) | | | Tasted by gfish on 10/7/2012 & rated 88 points: Had this bottle with Lou Malnatis deep dish pizza.
I decanted it 10 minutes before drinking but it could have used a longer decant. It took some time for initial funk to blow off and start opening up. The final sips were the best.
On the palate the texture was really nice as the tannins were silky. There was good acidity and good quality fruit started showing nicely. This could have been better with a longer decant before being served. (5734 views) | | | Tasted by swlevison on 5/28/2012 & rated 88 points: A rich, soft wine with a mix of cherry and black plum. Low on tannins so the finish is a little short. (6050 views) | | | Tasted by dbj on 5/28/2011 & rated 94 points: Even with an hour decanting the 2002 is still too young. (5803 views) | | | Tasted by apmarques on 5/10/2011 & rated 85 points: AMAZING WINE. very good. almost too late to drink. Impression on the nose is richer than in the mouth. Specially in the first hour after opening. (3604 views) | | | Tasted by La Grappe on 10/20/2008 & rated 85 points: Fresh, lively, cherry flavours; somewhat rough and rustic on the palate, but not unpleasantly so; good depth and intensity of fruit. (3474 views) | | | Tasted by La Grappe on 7/23/2008 & rated 86 points: Intense, burnt fruit, with hints of licorice and tar; gamey overtones; typically refreshing Italian acidity; mature but still vigorous. (2246 views) | | | Tasted by j.knuth on 11/24/2007: Tough nose of petrol upon opening the bottle. Decanted it for 6 hours and the wine began to come into its own. Lots of bitter cherry tastes layered with light oak. I sensed a bit of alcolohol all around the wine, nose, pallet and in the finish, even though the wine is listed at only 13%...not overpowering, but noticeable to me. Still an enjoyable bottle that you don't see every day. (2650 views) |

Kevin Day articleTeroldegoTeroldego A vine of northern Italy’s Trentino-Alto-Adige zone, Teroldego is thought to have arrived there from the area of Verona around the shores of Lake Garda. It was first documented by name in various works of the early 1800s, and has more recently been shown to be genetically related to the Syrah, Marzemino and Lagrein varieties. It is planted almost exclusively in the Campo Rotaliano in the Adige Valley north of Trento, and its sole appellation of origin is Teroldigo Rotaliano D.O.C.
Teroldego takes its name from its traditional method of cultivation, trained on a system of “tirelle” or wire harnesses. A cool-climate vine, it is hardy, vigorous and potentially prolific, and best suited to permeable, well drained soils. It has large, pentagonal, three-lobed leaves and the compact, elongated, pyramidal bunches support medium to small, round, blue black berries with thick, resistant, dusky skins. The fruit is low in tannin but high in aroma, color, extract, acidity, sugar and potential alcohol.
Teroldego is easily overcropped to produce bright, fresh, balanced, fruity wines to be drunk young. Its personality is transformed if yield is restricted, when it offers lush, concentrated dark stone fruit and black cherry flavors and aromas offset by smoke, herb and bitter almond notes. It is marked by a particularly fine acidic balance and complexity, and restrained oak contact rounds out its structure. Alternate names: Tiroldola, Tiraldega.
