Teroldego - Weintraube und Blatt

Origin

It is probably named after the district of Teroldeghe in the municipality of Mezzolombardo (Trento). According to a second variant, it is derived from the German name "Tiroler Gold" and according to a third from the tar flavour. This very old variety comes from the Rotaliano plain, after which the Teroldego Rotaliano DOC area is named. It was mentioned as early as 1480 in a contract of sale in Trentino and in other documents, such as on the occasion of the Council of Trent (1545-1563). The wines were very popular at the Viennese court during the Habsburg monarchy.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
