From the small amount of fruit harvested from the damaged vines we were able to piece together a number of vinification tests with short maceration processes to make Lezèr. We undertook various batch tests in amphorae, wood, cement and steel, never leaving the grapes on the skins for more than 24 hours.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine was born with the spirit of experimentation and continues to develop in this way.\u003cbr\u003eOverseeing the various developments that take place in each vintage, each year we experiment with the addition of full bunches and changing containers, along with tweaking our techniques and timings for short maceration.\u003cbr\u003eName of wine: Lezèr – Rosso Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT\u003cbr\u003eGrape: Teroldego 84% + other red grape varieties 16%\u003cbr\u003eVineyard location: pergola and guyot vines in Mezzolombardo – Campo Rotaliano\u003cbr\u003eHectares: 4 hectares, across various plots\u003cbr\u003eTerroir: Alluvial, gravel and sand\u003cbr\u003eFermentation: cement tanks, wooden barrels and terracotta amphorae\u003cbr\u003eFining: 4 months in cement tanks, wooden barrels and terracotta amphorae\u003cbr\u003eAnnual production: 50.000 bottles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are free farmers, united in our respect for the earth and its abundance.\u003cbr\u003eWe work with passion to grow plants that maintain their natural expressivity.\u003cbr\u003eWe transform the fruits of our earth for the wellbeing of those who reap its goodness.\u003cbr\u003eOur ultimate goal is to create harmony between man and nature.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a healthy farming method consents a grapevine to express itself in its entirety, the fruit that is born from it will be an expression of authenticity.\u003cbr\u003eThe quality of the wine we produce will be apparent through its vitality.\u003cbr\u003eTo preserve the vital forces of the original fruit throughout the transformation from grape into wine, evokes a perception of its birthplace in the wine as well as to whom drinks it; it enters in harmony with the food and creates a wholesome drink that gives a sense of wellbeing.\u003cbr\u003eWe do not intervene in the winery; nothing is added, but we guide the wine while paying attention to its needs. Thus, the wine keeps an expressive spontaneity and bears the personality of its intense and live raw material.\u003cbr\u003eIn the winery, fermentation takes place in different containers in which the wine is also aged.\u003cbr\u003eThe acacia and oak wood of the casks and open-top tanks is alive: leaving traces of itself, it takes part in the transformation process and guides the wine through time, supporting it.\u003cbr\u003eThe clay of the tinajas gives full freedom of expression to the grapes and gives the wine the chance to reconnect to the earth. These containers are strongly energetic: their broad and elongated shape welcomes and embraces; the clay from which they are made has the property to link the cosmic to the terrestrial forces.\u003cbr\u003eThe cement containers help with their thermal inertia; even stainless steel has a role in our winery and remains as a witness to our past.\u003cbr\u003eOur work is measured with time, with nature’s rhythms, with the anticipation for the grapevine to grow, to age, to give fruit, for the wine’s slow evolution in the silence and darkness of the winery and its development in the bottle first and the wineglass afterwards.\u003cbr\u003eThe expressive spontaneity of a wine that is full of life consents it to continually change, to reveal itself in its essence. It is a wine that will never leave us.\u003cbr\u003eWhen you open one of our bottles, make sure to do so at the correct cellaring temperature, pour the wine into ample glasses and follow it in time: it will guide you with versatility, sharing with you the personality of the intense raw material, which will embrace the variety of food placed before you.\u003cbr\u003eA wine rich with vital forces is born through an act of love towards nature and as such cannot but envelop and surprise you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49231116402939,"sku":"00077936","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/f148111e9abbde27f1b6d2e8b8c76014.jpg?v=1787873528","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/foradori-lezer-teroldego-alto-adige-it-2025-1500ml","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
