Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola 2022

Nosiola is an ancient Trentino grape variety, whose cultivation has been restricted to the areas of Valle dei Laghi, Colline di Trento and Pressano. It is a variety that expresses itself intensely, culminating in wines of great delicacy and longevity.

Made in it's tradition style, Nosiola was always vinified on skins and Foradori have followed tradition. Farming completely biodynamically and fermenting in amphora for 8 months. The clay vessels (Tinaja from Villarrobledo, Spain), allow the wine to be in contact with skins over a longer period of time. A true expression of Nosiola, that requires a decant before drinking, served chilled. 

“Emilio’s favourite. Strong and mature nose right away. It smells fizzy, like a Mexican soda. Peach flavour I would say. Forget the usual freshness, but not the terpenic side, which is very expressive and shoots bunches of rosemary from the Mediterranean right through your nose hair. Besides Nosiola having a sexual affair with Marsanne/Rousanne this year, I think there was a little escapade to Hungary as well. The texture feels like the warm and soft shoulders of an Eastern Magyar bower or some kind of wizard Nosiola transformed into Houdini’s favourite juice from home. Weird and intriguing notes of Sake finish this globalized clusterfuck from Trentino. Certainly potent in its evolution.” - Theo Zierock, Azienda Agricola Foradori
