This distinctive Teroldego from Sicilia Vineyards showcases the unique character of this Italian varietal grown in Sutter County's terroir.
Appearance: Deep ruby with violet edges, suggesting a wine of intensity and youthful vigor.
Aroma: An intriguing bouquet unfolds, likely featuring notes of ripe black cherries and blackberries, complemented by hints of violet and perhaps a touch of earthiness characteristic of Teroldego.
Palate: Expect a medium to full-bodied wine with vibrant acidity. The palate may reveal layers of dark fruit flavors, including blackberry and plum, potentially accented by notes of black pepper and herbs. Look for firm tannins providing structure, balanced by the grape's natural fruitiness.
Finish: Likely long and complex, with lingering impressions of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle minerality that speaks to its terroir.
This Teroldego would pair excellently with rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, wild game, or aged hard cheeses. Its bold character also makes it a captivating wine for solo contemplation.
Best served slightly below room temperature. While approachable now, this Teroldego may develop additional complexity with 2-4 years of cellaring.
