Foradori is a wine estate in the Dolomites region of northern Italy, particularly known for its red wines from the Teroldego variety. The estate dates back to 1901 and has been owned by the Foradori family since 1939. Elisabetta Foradori began making wine in 1984. Foradori is largely responsible for the different way in which the Teroldego variety is viewed, which in recent years has established itself on the Italian wine scene with great authority.
The estate has 28 hectares (69 acres) of vineyards in numerous small plots around the Campo Rotaliano plain, 75 percent of which are planted with Teroldego. The rest are planted with Manzoni Bianco, with small amounts of Nosiola and Pinot Grigio. Foridori's vineyards have been farmed biodynamically since 2002 and were Demeter certified in 2009. Foradori’s winemaking follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, which includes the use of indigenous yeasts, no temperature control and bottling without filtration. Production reaches around 160,000 bottles per year, over half of which are in the Foradori cuvée.
Foradori Teroldego is an iconic red wine from Northern Italy, produced by Elisabetta Foradori – one of the most respected figures in the world of biodynamic winemaking. This wine is made entirely from the Teroldego grape variety, native to the Trentino-Alto Adige region, and is considered the best expression of this variety.
