Teroldego Rotaliano

This is Teroldego Rotaliano, a red wine from Trentino-Alto Adige in Northern Italy, made from Teroldego grapes. Teroldego is an indigenous grape of Campo Rotaliano in the north-eastern part of Trentino-Alto Aldige. Its history dates back to the late 15th century and may have been named after the tirelle trellising system used for its cultivation. Ripening in late September and early October, the grapes make generous full-flavoured and moderately tannic reds, although it is also made into fruity roses with low tannins. Deep purple ruby, with a slightly acid nose with some fruity notes, the above wine is fruity and acid on the palate, with an acid backbone for support.
