A wild yet engaging nose exuding stemmy, herbal freshness. White pepper funk, agave/mezcal, resin, charcuterie and salted lemons. A touch of fine sauerkraut, too. Leave it in the glass, this will show some yuzu sorbet characters, too. Full-bodied and substantial on the palate with naturally bright acidity leading it to a long and tangy finish. Salty at the end. Lots of stamina! This serious yet fun, and reminds me of some of the top, tangy garnachas from Gredos or Beaujolais. This is simply the white version that stands at the top of our “drinkability” pyramid. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Irresistibly drinkable now, but will hold well.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Trentino/Alto Adige

As the name suggests, the northern Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is made up of two separate areas, with Trento in the south, and the Adige river in the north. There are few parts of Italy quite as alluring for wine fans as Trentino-Alto Adige, as this is an area in which Italian wines become really quite unique and surprising. As the region is nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is quite a long way from the sun drenched islands of the south, or the rolling hillsides of central Italy. Indeed, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are packed full of fresh, vibrant alpine flavors and aromas, and are as influenced by the Germanic styles of wine making as they are influenced by those of the Italians, making the wines of this region really quite unusual, and utterly captivating. Wineries in Trentino-Alto Adige use both native and imported grape varietals for their wines, and they are generally considered to be amongst the finest in Italy.

Vinous Media

The 2021 Nosiola No Sulfur Fontanasanta is sharply focused and floral in the glass, with sweet spices and candied lemon lifting from the glass. It flows effortlessly across the palate. Peach nuances contrast sour melon over a core of saline minerals. This finishes wildly fresh and with a bit of an exotic flair as traces of young kiwi fade. It's amazing how different this is from the Nosiola Fontanasanta with added sulfur, somehow sweeter and more giving, yet just as refined.

Winery Notes

100% Nosiola. Foradori works 2 hectares of this ancient local variety in the Fontanasanta vineyard at about 400 meters above the city of Trento, a few miles down valley from the Foradori estate in Mezzolombardo. The vines are on clay-limestone soils, lower on the hills than the Manzoni Bianco vines that the Foradoris also tend here. The farming is organic. The bunches are harvested by hand and destemmed. The grapes go directly into clay amphorae or tinajas (from J. Padella in Spain), where they ferment spontaneously and macerate for 6 to 8 months. The wine then spends a brief period in used acacia barrels. It is bottled without fining or filtering and with the wine's only small dose of sulfur. Like all Foradori wines, the wine is classified as IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti.
