Tasting notes
Another outstanding wine, the 2013 Teroldego Sgarzon is quite a bit darker and more powerful than the Morei. Black cherry, gravel, smoke, licorice and dark spices are fused together. Intense, plush and inviting, the 2013 needs at least a few years for the tannin and acidity to become a bit more integrated, but there is plenty to like and even more to look forward to. The Sgarzon is a fabulous wine all around.

The 2013 Teroldego Sgarzon comes from a vineyard site that is heavily characterized by gravel and sandy soils. Like the Teroldego Morei, the wine goes through an eight-month maceration period in clay vessels. This is a streamlined and delicate expression with more obvious floral and fruit notes on display. Rose petals and dried lavender are followed by grilled herb, leather and sour cherry. The wine's texture is compact, lean and crisp.
