Cobelli Teroldego 2023
$ 26.50
Teroldego is a dark-skinned and earthy grape native to the Alto Adige. Despite its earthiness, Teroldego has very soft tannins and is an easy-to-drink and youthful wine. Cobelli's iteration was fermented 10-15 days before resting in barrel and large casks until the next harvest and then an additional year in bottle.
Cobelli is located in Sorni di Lavis, an historic grape growing area since the Romans. It sits on the slopes of Monte Corona in the Southern Trentino region of the Alto Adige. The 150-year-old, 5-hectare estate is farmed organically by 3 brothers and their families. What is unique about Sorni di Lavis, in addition to its excellent exposition and altitude, is the unique vein of chalk that runs through the soil here and the "Ora del Garda"-- a Mediterranean-influenced wind that moderates the temperature allowing for a perfect ripening of the grapes with balanced sugar and acidity. All hand harvested, with minimal intervention in the cellar.
