Foradori estate was built in 1901 with a filigree façade, is situated in a square near a Franciscan monastery founded in 1664, and was bought by Vittorio Foradori in 1935. In 1985, more than a hundred years later, Elisabetta Foradori - supported by her mother Gabriella - started her research on Toraldego grape variety. At the time it seemed as if it had lost all its qualitative potential as well as its genetic diversity. But the young winemaker, who had unexpectedly stepped into the shoes of her father Roberto when he died prematurely, soon recognized the boundless potential of this ancient variety and set out to overcome any obstacle to bring its qualities back to light. After almost twenty years of painstaking work, the Teroldego has regained a qualitatively well-defined place among Italy's indigenous grape varieties. The vineyards around the Foradori estate is for wine lovers a sort of viticultural Garden of Eden where the huge mosaic of the variety's diversity is reconstructed. Foradori believes that good wine is the fruit of knowledge and patience.
