Foradori, 'Morei Cilindrica', Teroldego, Vigneti delle Dolomiti, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, 2021

Overview of the Wine
Our awareness of nature’s rhythms and cycles has been perfected through observation over time: each season opens new horizons, every day we learn and understand a little more.

We have learned to pay attention, to grasp the subtle differences existing in nature and to preserve the true character of the grape in the expression of its land of origin.

Our daily farming gestures are elevated to creative impulses: it is our duty and privilege to wake up every morning and to be free to work according to the message that the earth conveys to us in that moment.

At the helm today, a fourth generation of winemakers run Foradori’s activities. It was Elisabetta Foradori and Rainer Zierock’s work that led to the salvage and regeneration of the Teroldego grape variety through their cultivation of the grape’s original genetic family. Today their children Emilio, Theo and Myrtha Zierock continue in their footsteps to run the winery.

Emilio manages wine production, while Theo oversees the winery’s business and commerce; Myrtha takes care of Foradori’s farming and gradual expansion.

Together the three of them oversee the smooth running of the winery, supported constantly by their mother Elisabetta.

Though Rainer sadly passed away in February 2009, his influence remains fundamental and today his ideas still continue to steer the development of the winery.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Tinaja Cilindrica is the name for the 350 liter capacity elongated clay container in which Morei spend 12 months maturing, unlike its vinous namesakes.

Morei Cilindrica is distinguished by its clarity of expression, precision and harmony. It mirrors processes, linked to the way clay helps to exchange and aggregate elements that are typically opposing.

94 Points - Vinous
The 2021 Teroldego Morei Cilindrica is aromatically intense yet pliant and smooth. It entices with a burst of crushed stone and exotic spices, complementing blackberries and cherries. This is energetic and lifted in feel, juxtaposing ripe fruits against crisp mineral tones. it leaves a cascade of blue and purple inner florals and a coating of rounded tannins, tapering off with superb length and freshness.
