Tasting notes
Perfumes of sea urchin and crustacean rise up seemingly from the deep, then come a wild body of blackberries, picked nearly to perfection, and a wide array of minerals and spices. The medium-bodied palate expertly triangulates waves of cutting acidity, masterfully etched-out tannins and supple, bright fruit. A bark-like note lingers on the long, ethereal finish. Stunning. Drink now or hold.

Tasted at the winery just a few weeks after its release, the 2017 Teroldego Sgarzon is a step above the 2016 vintage. You feel that extra heat and flavor intensity that seems to radiate off the primary fruit. This was a warm growing season, and the quality of aromas is more open, generous and immediate as a result. This wine is fermented on the skins in clay amphorae for six months. Aromas of dark fruit are followed by cigar smoke, scorched earth and wet clay. In the mouth, this vintage offers noticeable density and richness.
