The Foradori Agricultural Company is located in Mezzolombardo (Trento) in the heart of the Campo Rotaliano, surrounded by the Dolomites. Today, the fourth generation of winemakers continues to work constantly to grow plants that maintain their expressive spontaneity.
Founded in 1901 and managed by the Foradori family since 1939, the Foradori Agricultural Company has always worked to enhance the ancient local variety Teroldego; an important push in this direction occurred in 2002 with the conversion of the Company to biodynamic agricultural methods.
Thanks to the work of Elisabetta Foradori and Rainer Zierock, through the cultivation and enhancement of ancient vine genotypes, over the years there has been conservation and genetic regeneration of the indigenous grape variety Teroldego.
Their children Emilio, Theo, and Myrtha Zierock continue to work in this direction today.
In addition to wine, the Foradori Agricultural Company is also focusing its efforts on the cultivation of vegetables and the breeding of the Grigio Alpina cattle breed aimed at producing raw milk cheeses.
All of this is to create a complex and balanced agricultural organism.
“As guardians of the land, we believe that our work is measured by time, by the rhythms of nature, by the waiting for plants to grow, age, and bear fruit; that wine evolves slowly in the silence and darkness of the cellar.”
The deepening of Teroldego follows two paths: respect for tradition (Granato and Foradori) and the search for more experimental expressions (Morei, Sgarzon, and Lezèr). On the hills of Cognola, they work with the whites Nosiola and Incrocio Manzoni. The company is in constant motion to improve themselves and support those around them: The result has been to obtain grapes with characteristics that perfectly reflect the territory.
