Don Guerino Teroldego Origine 1880 750ml
Of Italian origin, the Teroldego grape variety is native to the Trento region of northern Italy, the same region from which Guerino Motter's family emigrated. It was introduced and cultivated in our own vineyards in the Alto Feliz region of Rio Grande do Sul. One of the best-adapted grapes in our terroir, it produces iconic wines that carry with them the origin and essence of our family history.
A wine with excellent vivacity, personality, and great aging potential. Aromas of fresh fruit and spices, resulting from the grape variety's typicity and its aging in French and American oak barrels for 9 months.
