TEROLDEGO 2021

October 2024 Red Wine of the Month
This captivating spicy Italian red is the star indigenous variety from Trentino-Alto Adige, nestled at the southern tip of Austria and Switzerland. In California, Teroldego has flourished for the past couple of decades, bringing a bold, deep character to rich red blends.

California Teroldego tends to be more robust than its Italian siblings, showcasing its versatility in a range of styles—from young and fruity to aged and complex.

Pair this exceptional wine with cured meat, pasta dishes, savory tapas, and hearty meat dishes for a truly memorable experience. Cheers to the adventure in every sip!
