Endrizzi : Teroldego Riserva 2015

Complex, intense fruit in an environmentally friendly Italian wine

The estate

The story of Cantina Endrizzi began in 1885. The philosophy of its owners, Paolo and Christine Endrici, rests on simple principles: wine is the end result of a series of processes, and environmentally respectful farming lies at the heart of them. With this in mind, the estate has banned chemical treatments in its vineyards and reduced the amount of sulphites added to its wines. These measures are among the reasons why the wines of Cantina Endrizzi are so highly regarded. Indeed, these sublime Italian wines stand out for their unique character, which reflects the terroir that gave birth to them and bears the Endrizzi signature.

The vineyard

Regarded as one of the oldest estates in Trentino, Cantina Endrizzi enjoys an enchanting location south of the Alps, where the warmth of the Mediterranean climate meets the freshness of the continental climate. The Pian Di Castello, Masetto and Kinderleit vineyards all lie near the village of San Michele all'Adige, in the heart of Italy's Adige Valley.

Teroldego Riserva 2015 comes from old vines grown on gravelly soils covered with a layer of fertile earth. The terroir benefits from a microclimate with a good temperature difference between day and night.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes are harvested by hand, and only the finest berries are selected. They are then taken to the cellar for a highly precise winemaking process. The berries first ferment at a controlled temperature for 10 days. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in oak barrels.
