Teroldego is a different world compared to our Southern reds. It grows at the foot of the Dolomites, where the mountain air is sharp and the nights are cool. The World Atlas of Wine calls it 'one of Italy's great characters'—and they aren't exaggerating. It has an alpine brightness and elegance that feels alive in the glass. It’s a serious wine, but it has a lift that keeps it effortless.

You’ll get violets and wild mountain berries on the nose, but it’s the freshness on the palate that really stands out—it's almost electric. The tannins are silky, and the tonalite in the soil adds a savory, mineral finish that keeps you coming back. It’s got personality without trying too hard.

Pierluigi’s Note: This is the one I pour when I want to show people a side of Italy they don't expect. It’s elegant and surprisingly fresh. It works perfectly with roasted meats or aged cheeses. Serve it at 16–18°C.

The De Vigili family has been tied to winemaking in Trentino since the 19th century. Though wars and hardship interrupted the story, the estate was rebuilt with determination and guided by a philosophy that values quality over size.

Today the winery is led by Francesco De Vigili, who has given new life to the family tradition with a bold and contemporary vision. The cellar is imagined not only as a place of production but as a space of inclusion and gathering, where wine, art, and the beauty of the Dolomites come together.

With an eye for detail and a respect for history, De Vigili continues to craft wines that reflect both the land and the spirit of those who tend it, offering bottles with authenticity, personality, and character.

In the heart of the Italian Alps, the landscape of Trentino is defined by the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites. This is a land shaped by ancient glaciers and carved by the Adige and Noce rivers, resulting in a complex soil rich in sand, silt, and mineral-heavy pebbles. Whether grown on the sun-drenched floor of the Piana Rotaliana or along the rugged mountain slopes, every ingredient—from noble grapes to earthy botanicals—is fed by pure, mineral-rich mountain springs.

The climate here is a story of sharp contrasts. Cold alpine winds from the north meet warm, gentle currents rising from the valleys, creating dramatic temperature shifts between day and night. This "alpine clarity" is the secret behind the vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity found in the region's drinks. The result is a collection of mountain-born liquids that are precise, mineral, and undeniably alive—a true reflection of the Dolomites' untamed spirit.
