Teroldego

Wine has been produced since ancient times in Campo Rotaliano, an alluvial plain between the rivers Adige (Etsch) and Noce.

Teroldego may take its name from its traditional method of cultivation, trained on a system of tirelle or wire harnesses, an explanation that's more likely, albeit less pretty, than its legendary association with German dialect for "gold of the Tyrol".

[citation needed] It has recently been discovered to be a full sibling of the Dureza variety from France, which is one of the parents of Syrah.

The wine Teroldego Rotaliano, which is made with this grape in Trentino, has had DOC status since 18 February 1971.

[citation needed] In Australia the variety is sparsely planted and has found homes in warmer and coastal climates such as McLaren Vale, Margaret River, Alpine Valley and Langhorne Creek.
