Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola 2024

Grape: Nosiola Vintage: 2024 Type: White Nosiola is an ancient Trentino grape variety, once spread throughout the region and whose cultivation has since been restricted to the areas of Valle dei Laghi, Colline di Trento and Pressano. It is a variety that expresses itself intensely in poor-soil vineyards, producing wines of great delicacy and longevity. In the past, Nosiola was always vinified on the skins. The possibility of cultivating ‘real’ grapes, rich in energy thanks to the biodynamic practices undertaken in the vineyard and the extraordinary strength of the amphora, means that now we have the possibility to undertake an ancient style of winemaking. The amphora (Tinaja from Villarrobledo, Spain), with its shape and the porosity of the clay from which it is made, allows the wine to remain in contact with the skins for a longer period. This is the true expression of the Nosiola, which is revealed slowly, requiring patience and time. This is a table wine that expresses itself best after breathing for a long period and is served at least 15 degrees. Rich, luminous gold in the glass, the wine offers complex aromas of apricot, honey, baked apple, citrus zest, and warm spices, underscored by a flinty, nutty minerality. It boasts bright, brisk acidity alongside an oily, smooth texture.
