Foradori Granato Teroldego 2009

The 2009 Granato hits a sweet spot between generosity and depth — dark plum, ripe cherry, crushed violet and a firm mineral backbone running beneath all that lush fruit. Aged in equal parts cask and barrique, it carries real textural richness without losing its sense of place. There's an immediacy to this wine: it doesn't ask you to wait. Drink the 2009 now while cellaring the 2010 for a few more years. Another outstanding effort from Elisabetta Foradori.
