Teroldego Rotaliano Trentino DOP bottle

Wine description

In the framework of the Trentino’s enology, Teroldego has always played a role of great prestige. The vast flat area in the province of Trento known as the Campo Rotaliano has proved to be a highly favorable habitat for the varietal. Thanks to Teroldego Rotaliano’s fine sensory qualities and the outstanding techniques applied in cultivating the grapes and making the wine, its reputation has grown throughout the centuries, as was recognized in 1971 with the assignment of the official DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), now referred to as DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta).
