Description
Roeno is situated on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has now passed it on to the 2nd generation: Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe. Roeno makes fresh, mountain-pure wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer and make surprising red wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Terdoldego. In addition, they use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
Located in the south of Trento in the slightly larger region of Valdige, the small DOC of Valdoende Terra dei Forte has three signature wines: Pinot Grigio, Lambrusco and the red wine Casetta and nowadays also more Chardonnay as the relatively cool high-altitude area ensures elegance, especially with Chardonnay.
The origin of the Teroldego is uncertain. Some believe that it arrived in Trentino from the area of Veronese (area of Lake Garda) where it was known as Tirodola, but DNA analysis showed that together with the Schiava Gentile it is a relative of Lagrein and Marzemino and a cousin of Dureza who is a relative of the Syrah.
The grapes are harvested by hand and after harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. They are then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with a skin soak. The grapes are regularly pumped over to obtain sufficient color and tannin. After fermentation, the wine matures for a few months in French oak.
The Roeno Teroldego I Dossi has an intense ruby red color. On the nose, the wine is intense, fruity, accompanied by hints of red fruit and blackcurrant. In the mouth, the fruity comes back with hints of sweet spices and silky tannins. Showing chocolate in the aftertaste. Delicious with grilled entrecote. Also delicious with matured, spicy cheeses. Serve the wine at 18 ° C, but this is also a red wine that also goes well with fish dishes because of the nice acidity, limited tannins and very limited wood, but then serve at around 14 degrees.

Roeno is situated on the border of Veneto and Alto Adige east of Lake Garda. The family business was founded in the 1960s by Rolando Fugatti, who has since passed it on to the 2nd generation: Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe. Roeno makes fresh, mountain wines, characteristic of the region. They use the local specialty, Gewürztraminer and make surprising rodea wines from the local grape varieties Marzemino and Teroldego. They also use Müller Thurgau, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
The name Roeno is a deduction of founder Rolando's name, with the Greek word Enos, meaning "wine". The winery is located about 30 kilometers north of Garda, literally on the border between Veneto and Alto Adige. However, the winery's focus is on the terroir of Alto Adige. Founded in the 1960s, Roeno quickly became known among the locals for its good restaurant. Roeno particularly caught our eye because of the quality wines from limestone-rich terroirs.
Roeno has vineyards in several regions of origin, including the relatively young IGP Vallagarina for the Marzemino and Teroldego. The Rìvoli area, situated between the town of Affi and the headquarters in Brentino Belluno, is considered by Roeno to be the top area for Pinot Grigio. Roeno makes an almost ruddy colored Pinot Grigio there, which is lightly aged in wood. A real specialty!
The vineyards are nestled on the border between Veneto and Trentino, in the land known as "Terra dei Forti" The winery is surrounded by mountain slopes flanking the Adige River. A land of (no) borders, two words rich in fascination and references, cultural confluences and intertwined lives. The vineyards are all pearls on the banks of the River Adige, between Monte Baldo and the Lessinia plateau. Beyond the Terradeiforti Doc denomination, the vineyards extend to the municipality of Affi and the municipality of Caprino Veronese. Further north, however, they reach the province of Trento, which puts them within the Trentino Doc specification.
