Teroldego
Ottavio is a piece of history. It comes from a tiny plot of vines that are over 100 years old, sitting in the heart of the Piana Rotaliana. This is the ultimate expression of what Teroldego can be. We hand-select the grapes with absolute precision, let them ferment spontaneously in cement, and then give the wine 15 months in oak barriques to find its soul.
It is deep, rich, and complex. You’ll find dark red fruits and jam on the nose, but there is a powerful spicy vein and a hint of liquorice that gives it real depth. It’s what we call an 'important' wine—bold and structured—but it never loses that characteristic Alpine elegance and freshness that defines the region.
Pierluigi’s Note: This is a wine for slow nights and deep conversations. It’s powerful enough to stand up to wild game, rich stews, or the most intense aged cheeses you can find. It has a long life ahead of it, so don't be afraid to let it sit in your cellar, but if you open it now, give it the time it deserves to breathe. Serve at 16–18°C.
