Description

The Endrizzi Teroldego Rotaliano DOC Superiore Riserva Leoncorno is a testament to the unique terroir of the Rotaliano DOC in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This wine is crafted exclusively from the indigenous Teroldego grape, often called the "Prince of Trentino." Endrizzi, a winery with a rich history dating back to 1885, showcases its commitment to quality and tradition through this exceptional Riserva. The name Leoncorno evokes the image of a lion with a horn, symbolizing strength and uniqueness, which this wine embodies. This wine shows a deep ruby-red color and unfolds aromas of dark fruits like black cherry and plum, intertwined with earthy notes of forest floor and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, and well-structured, with firm tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of ripe fruit and subtle spice. The Teroldego Rotaliano is an excellent choice to serve with rich meat dishes such as grilled steak, braised lamb, or wild game. Its robust character also makes it a delightful companion to aged cheeses, such as Parmesan or Pecorino. For an authentic pairing, try it with traditional Trentino dishes like polenta with mushrooms or game stew. The wine is best served at around 18°C after allowing it to breathe for at least 30 minutes. This decanting helps to open up the aromas and soften the tannins, enhancing the overall drinking experience. This wine is a true expression of the Rotaliano terroir, reflecting the unique combination of alluvial soils, favorable climate, and the passion of the Endrizzi family. Buying this wine means to get a piece of Trentino's rich winemaking tradition and enjoy the authentic flavors of a truly special wine, reflecting the best of what the Rotaliano DOC has to offer. It is well-suited for aging, which gives the wine even more depth and complexity. It is a perfect wine for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
