Foradori 'Lezer' Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT

Born from agricultural ruin. In the summer of 2017, a devastating hailstorm battered the Foradori estate in Trentino, threatening to obliterate the entire harvest before it could even begin. Elisabetta Foradori and her family pivoted. They salvaged their prized Teroldego grapes through a radical series of ultra-short macerations, fermenting the surviving fruit in a patchwork of clay amphorae, cement tanks, and neutral oak. The resulting liquid was a revelation.

Christened 'Lezer'—meaning "light" in the regional dialect—this bottling intentionally blurs the fragile boundary between a robust rosé and a featherweight red. It exposes the sheer versatility of Teroldego when completely stripped of its traditional brooding extraction. The farming remains strictly biodynamic. Interventions in the cellar are virtually nonexistent.

• Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts
• Aged briefly across cement, wood, and terracotta
• Unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur
