Foradori Teroldego Rotaliano

[Innkeeper]

2000 Foradori, Teroldego Rotaliano ($15.99 WineExpo). This may be her "basic" wine, but it is a bottle and a half! Very dark and robust. Gives you a rush of black fruit and spice on the nose and upfront. Huge complexity of more fruit and spice, Mezzolombarden dirt, and chewy tannin cross the palate. The finish lingers on and on. Matched very well with sliced grillpanned sirloin covered with richly sauteed mushrooms, accompanied with baked sweet potatoes, and salad vinaigrette. All, very very nice.
