Lively fruit on the nose, with bright raspberry and blackcurrant aromas wrapped up in aromatic herbs. The palate shows crisp, integrated acidity and lightly framed tannins. Delicious and so fresh. From organically and biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Wine Advocate \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Foradori 2022 Teroldego Morei sees fruit from a site with alluvial soils and lots of stones. This organic and biodynamic red is fermented in tinajas (amphorae) on the skins for eight months and aged in tinajas for 12 months without the skins. It offers a bright and punchy profile with wild cherry, tart plum and butter rose. The loose quality of the soils adds to the fragrant and delicate personality of this mid-weight wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - Vinous\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA beguiling blend of black raspberries, exotic spice, leather straps, cocoa and crushed stones makes the 2022 Teroldego Morei impossible to ignore. This is juicy and fresh in style with lifted textures, crisp wild berry fruits and zesty acidity that keeps the energy remarkably high. Tactile mineral tones add a pleasant crunch as hints of white pepper and pomegranate linger over a bed of gently grippy tannins. The 2022 Morei has a more immediate feel than past vintages, yet its balance can not be denied. The purity alone is spellbinding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere's an accessible feel to this open-knit, medium- to full-bodied red, showing good integration of the racy acidity and sinewy tannins with flavors of pureed blackberry, dried mint and black tea leaf, singed orange peel and milled white pepper.
