Producer Azienda Agricola Foradori
TRENTINO ALTO ADIGE
The Foradori agricultural company is located in Mezzolombardo (Trento) in the heart of 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 impetus in this direction occurred in 2002 with the conversion of the company to the biodynamic agricultural method. Thanks to the work of Elisabetta Foradori and Rainer Zierock, through the cultivation and valorization of ancient vineyard genotypes, over the years we have witnessed the conservation and genetic regeneration of the native Teroldego vine. 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 on the breeding of the Grigio Alpina cattle breed aimed at the production of raw milk cheeses. All this to create a complex and balanced agricultural organism. “As custodians of the earth we believe that our work is measured with time, with the rhythms of nature, with the wait for plants to grow, age and bear fruit; that the wine slowly evolves in the silence and darkness of the cellar”.
