Defined as the "prince of Trentino wines", Teroldego is probably the oldest quality grape variety produced in the region. Its producers were the first to form a consortium in 1948, and were also the first to obtain recognition of the Controlled Designation of Origin in 1970. CAVIT collects it in the area north of Trento, in the heart of the Rotaliana plain, in the municipality of Mezzolombardo. After harvesting, the grapes undergo a maceration phase that lasts for about 8-10 days, and after fermentation there is a phase of maturation in wood. Part of the wine is put into barriques and part into Slavonian oak barrels. A phase that is not too long, however, and as such does not alter the aromatic framework of the original grapes. The result is a wine of intense ruby red colour, with marked and lively violet edges in its youth. Fruity notes stand out on the nose, with hints of raspberry, blackberry and wild berries. As it matures, however, the bouquet is enriched with new sensations, becoming more ethereal and ample. The mouthfeel reveals a pleasant tannicity and a velvety, enveloping, full-bodied and austere taste.
