In 2017, hail ruined 40% of Foradori's harvest, prompting the creation of Lezer. Always intending to make a light Teroldego to celebrate the summer, Foradori tested the concept of Lezer using a tiny amount of fruit harvested from the damaged vines. If you've never heard of Teroldego - it's related to Syrah and boasts a dark inky colour, a peppery flavour, and firm, but not harsh, tannins. Lezer is fresh and fruity with a mild herbaceousness that holds it together. It's great with food or chilled on its own.
