From one of the forgotten grapes of Italy, the Teroldego is known for producing rich and exciting reds, and this wine doesn't disappoint. Ripe and spicy with a velvety texture, the Foradori is a melange of black cherries, ripe black plums, pepper, cinnamon and clove, with more than a splash of acidity that cleanses the palate after each sip. The tannins are soft, so I wouldn't wait too long on this wine, but right now it is an outstanding effort from what is generally considered a tough vintage for northern Italy.

This was my first experience with Toreldego, and I was quite impressed. Like esbrown said, fresh black cherry and plum with autumn spices and a soft, but nice body. I look forward to trying more wines from Foradori...
