Cultivation and winemaking
The wine
DOC status since 18 February 1971. It is planted on about 400 hectares and is cultivated by over 300 producers.[citation needed
]
In Australia the variety is sparsely planted and has found homes in warmer, coastal climates such as McLaren Vale and Margaret River.[citation needed]
Some California authorities compare Teroldego to Zinfandel, with its spicy red fruits, and hints of tar, pine, and almond, but few tasters would confuse the two varieties in a blind tasting. Its snappy acidity makes it a versatile food wine.[citation needed]
