Somehow this manages to be very powerful and concentrated, expressive and wild all at once. Violets and wet earth mingle in the complex and very youthful nose. What a breathtaking interplay of fruit, tannin and mineral...

Minty herbs and camphor give way to black currants and savory spices, as the 2019 Teroldego Granato blossoms in the glass. This is polished and elegant with a deep inner spiciness and depths of dark red fruits. Cooling...

The 2019 Foradori Granato, crafted from the Teroldego grape, hails from the Trentino region of northern Italy. This organic and biodynamic red wine is a testament to the region's rich viticultural heritage. With a 13.0% alcohol content and sealed under cork, it presents an inky dark appearance, allowing little light to penetrate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a commendable 94 points, describing it as a "pure expression of the native Teroldego grape" with a bouquet that evolves to reveal "dark plum and blackberry followed by cola, licorice, and black rose." The review highlights its richness and depth, characteristics emblematic of a well-crafted Teroldego.

Vinous provided an even more stellar review, with a score of 96 points, praising the wine's "minty herbs and camphor" introduction, which transitions into "black currants and savory spices" as it opens in the glass. With "cooling acids and minerals" that elevate the expression, this wine is noted for being "polished and elegant" with a "youthful yet totally harmonious expression." The use of 30% whole-cluster fruit during fermentation is noted as contributing to its depth and complexity.

James Suckling offered the highest praise with a score of 98 points, describing the wine as "very powerful and concentrated, expressive and wild all at once." The review emphasizes a "breathtaking interplay of fruit, tannin and mineral freshness" with "enormous vitality" at its "firework-display finale." The biodynamic cultivation, certified by Demeter, is noted as enhancing its unique characteristics. While it can be enjoyed now, Suckling suggests it will reach its peak from 2024 onward.

Overall, the 2019 Foradori Granato is celebrated for its complexity, depth, and harmonious balance, making it a standout example of Teroldego winemaking.
