Teroldego
Details
Producer: Peltier
Region: Lodi, California
Grapes: 99.5% Teroldego, .05% Petite Syrah
Tasting Notes
This Teroldego is a monster. The Teroldego skins are very thick, resulting in a very dark and tannic wine. It was picked ripe to develop a strong plum character. This wine was fermented in stainless steel with D254 yeast. It was then aged in french oak barrels for 4 years. This lengthy aging is needed to soften this extremely tannic wine. The new barrels impart vanilla and spice characters.
Pairing Recommendations
Dark chocolate, smokey ribs or a rich pasta dish.
Region Information
The Clements Hills grapes produce a lot of plum and black olive flavors and the Mokelumne River grapes bring some fig and dark cherry flavors.
